College Cultural Geography

This course examines cultural phenomena as they relate to the world’s peoples and places. Cultural Geography studies world population and immigration, folk and popular cultures, the world’s great religions, agriculture, political space, economic development and urban and industrial patterns. Connecting these phenomena to the landscapes they create is one of the key features of cultural geography.

This course is taught in conjuncture with Central Lakes Community College in Brainerd, Minnesota.


You may print off the PowerPoint notes and bring them to class to assist with taking notes.  I recommend 3 to 6 slides per page.  If your computer does not support PowerPoint you can print off the slides in the Media Center.
