Abstract: Higher education is changing along with socioeconomic structures as a result of globalization. The need to reconsider geography courses in order to better prepare students for a globalized world has gained more attention. The prospects of internationalizing geography curricula, the difficulties involved in this change, and specific institutional and pedagogical experiences are all examined in this research. The study makes the case that globalizing the geography curriculum has great potential to promote global competency, interdisciplinary thinking, and sustainability consciousness by drawing on literature from curriculum studies, geography education, and higher education internationalization. But there are also conflicts. between local relevance and universal/global content, faculty capacity, assessment procedures, funding limitations, and the danger of cultural or epistemological uniformity. The paper shows how universities have managed these conflicts in practice through case studies (from Europe, Asia, and other locations) and empirical research on blended learning, fieldwork, and multidisciplinary. Lastly, it suggests methods for putting into practice a globalized geography curriculum that honours regional settings while educating students for global issues.
