Geography
Geography is the study of pattern and place on the earth’s surface, that is, how the earth’s surface is organized and used, and how its natural and cultural landscapes fuse into the powerful context of place. In Southwestern Illinois College’s geography courses, students explore the processes that give rise to geographic patterns, examine the spatial outcomes of environmental and social forces, and learn to use state-of-the-art mapping software to display and analyze the world around us.
