GEOGRAPHY

 

"Geography is the study of the world and all that is in it: its peoples, its land, air, and water, its plants and animals, and all the connections among its various parts. When you are investigating the world and its events you are dealing with geography. As you move through space in your everyday life you are observing and interacting with geography and making geographic decisions based on those encounters. you may not be aware of it but you are involved in geographic inquiry."  (Source: Geographic Inquiry)

Welcome to the fall session 2008 at Volunteer State Community College. This will be a true college-level geography curriculum, not college-lite or 13th grade. There's lots to learn in the field of geography, so let's get to it. Are you in the right frame of mind to succeed?
Welcome to Volunteer State Community College's Geography web page. You will find many informative and interesting things located in, and linked to, this site. The purpose of this site is to expand geographic literacy for students at Volunteer State. Place, movement, regions, location, and human/environment interaction are all aspects with which we deal in geography courses at Volunteer State.

If you've ever wondered what geography is or what you can do with a geography degree, then you may want to check out this video.  It explains a lot about the discipline, as well as inform you of our course topics.  Enjoy.
