Intro to Human Geography in Europe (5 units)
Human geography is the study of human populations and the spatial distribution of their activities across the Earth. Salamanca represents a geography student’s dream location for studying these topics. Students will spend considerable time in the field looking at ways culture influences the landscape and how cities like Salamanca and Madrid reflect the history of Spain and its many cultural influences.

Intro to Physical Geography (5 units)
Physical geography explores the relationship between Earth’s systems and the humans who inhabit them. This course is taught from and ‘Earth systems science’ perspective, emphasizing the interrelated nature of all physical systems. Students will use Salamanca as a natural laboratory to investigate weather and climate, the Tormes River and water resources, and other physical processes. Students will participate in several field excursions and go home with a much greater appreciation for the role that natural environment plays in their everyday lives.
