Geography
Geography is the study of the earth and sociocultural responses to it. The Geography major at Berkeley covers a wide range of topics: the culture of cities and the dynamics of the global economy; race, gender, and social movements; glaciers and climate change; and the origins of agriculture and the evolution of plant life. Geography students may participate in field trips in the Bay Area and surrounding communities.
