REGIONAL STUDIES

Regional Studies helps students learn and understand a region's geography, its characteristics, major environmental and social issues, and its position in an increasingly globalized world by examining its physical environment, human conditions, the environmental-human interactions, and its role in the international political economy of the 21st century.
