If you are interested in the relationships between the environment and society and want to learn about landscapes and people, consider studying geography. Geography is about place and space. It studies the interdependence among regions, natural systems, physical features, and society and cultural activities. Using a spatial perspective, it aims to form a coherent understanding of Earth. Geographers explore answers to questions like: Where are things or people located on the surface of the earth? Why are they located there? What processes are at work in developing those regions or features?The Department of Geography offers concentrations in Environmental Studies and Geomatics. The concentrations meet all 4-year Geography degree requirements but prescribe a specific suite of courses in lieu of the 9 credit hours of general geography electives. Students who pursue one of the concentrations in geography may also receive an Honours Degree by completing the Undergraduate Thesis in Geography.
