Health and Society are for understanding the modern world's increasing globalization and related processes. Many students in this track go on to pursue graduate study in geography, public health, or urban and regional planning or professional degrees in law, business, or policy analysis. The track also helps students prepare for positions in government, nongovernmental organizations, international or regional development, or business. Geography is concerned with places or environments and the physical, social, economic, and political processes that change them. It is a composite science, requiring a broad base of knowledge from many related disciplines. Geography also is an analytical science that seeks answers to specific questions from a geographic perspective. To achieve their aims, geographers develop and use advanced geospatial methods, including computer-based mapping, global positioning, and satellite sensing.
