Why study Geography BA/MA at UB?

The Geography BA/MA program focuses on economic and business geography; it is designed so that students can obtain both degrees five (5) years. The degree offers students the opportunity to learn about trade from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Students use the tools of economic and business geography to understand the dynamics of multinational corporations, global financial markets, and technology and innovation change. As they progress through the degree, students learn to evaluate how these global-scale changes create opportunities and constraints for regional development in the United States and abroad. Students focus on the critical social, economic, and environmental challenges faced by workers, corporate decision-makers, government policy makers, and non-governmental organizations, which ultimately shape social outcomes and patterns of uneven development. Students in this program pay Master’s-level tuition for only three (3) of the ten (10) semesters of the program.

Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the Geography BA/MA program, students will understand the basics of trade theory and global production network. Students will recognize and define the rapidly changing dynamics of the international business environment and its impact on corporate strategies and patterns of international trade and investment. Students will understand how these patterns shape, and are shaped by, historic and contemporary geographies of global inequality. Students will have well-developed skills in qualitative and quantitative methods of inquiry, as employed in research, industry, and government agencies.
