Geography

Welcome!!

 

Welcome to the Geography Program at Muskegon Community College. In recent years, geography at MCC has seen many changes: the addition of two lab-science courses; a new full-time faculty instructor and new adjunct instructors; updated course curriculums; and courses with online components, including one course offered completely online.

 

Our current course offerings include Physical Geography, Cultural Geography, World Regional Geography, and Introduction to Weather and Climate. There are also two courses in development -- Geographic Information Systems and Field Geography. The links on the left provide further information about MCC geography courses, contact information for course instructors, and relevant web links for those interested in geography.

Geography as a discipline has experienced tremendous changes in the last decade. Today's geography is a field of study that enables us to ask questions, and then, by using geographic resources and data, learn to analyze information to provide answers. Geographic knowledge teaches us about the world, both culturally and physically. The geographically informed person can identify, understand, and appreciate the web of relationships between people, places, and environments.
