2019 Course DescriptionsNUpathNortheastern’s academic core, known as NUpath, is built around essential, broad-based knowledge andskills—such as understanding societies and analyzing data—integrated with specific content areas anddisciplines. It offers students the flexibility to integrate core learning into their individual educationaljourneys. NUpath is Northeastern University’s set of institution-wide general education requirements for allstudents in all majors. You may find a list of these requirements with further details on the NU CoreCurriculum webpage: roughout this guide you will find the following abbreviations for NUpath categories.

It willappeal to students interested in social, economic and cultural marginalisation. NU Course Equivalent: INSH 1990,Interdisciplinary Elective in Social Sciences and HumanitiesIntroduction to GeographyThis unit of study aims to introduce students to academic geography by developing an understanding of what it means tothink geographically. As we hope to show through lectures, readings, practicals, and assessments, everything has a spatialdimension – a “where” – that matters. To “do geography” is to try to understand this spatiality by looking at how the creationof landforms, the formation of communities, the exercise of authority, and all manner of other everyday and extraordinaryprocesses “take place.” That is, geographers explore and theorize how these processes both shape and are shaped by theplaces and spaces where they occur.
