Geography is not just the study of maps. Geographers focus on understanding the complexity of interactions between people and their environment, communities and societies. Learn and apply geographic approaches to explore climate change, environmental degradation, biodiversity loss, globalization, urban inequality, local food systems, colonialism and spatial (in)justice. Develop a solid foundation in geographic knowledge and research skills while exploring your interests. Field courses, Co-op work placements, experiential learning and hands-on training in tools like geographic information systems (GIS) provide opportunities for you to gain practical skills and experience. Specialized concentrations in Physical Geography and Urban Geography, or a Bachelor of Science in Physical Geography are also available.
