GEO 3380 Geography of US and Canada


Canada and the United States share a common heritage and, historically, they have moved towards similar social and economic goals. These factors, along with geographical contiguity and proximity have produced a commonality of culture and mutual interdependence. Yet, there are clear-cut economic, demographic, and social differences between the two countries. This course provides a basis for understanding the United States and Canada by examining their geographical similarities and differences. Emphasis is placed on the identification and interpretation of spatial patterns and processes associated with physical environment and natural resources, economic structure, settlement patterns, population, immigration, land use, urbanization, and ethnicity at national, regional, and urban levels. This is a writing intensive course.
