The Human Geography programs provide the opportunity to learn about the relations between landscapes, places, people and nature, and the spatial organization of human activities. While students are encouraged to explore the breadth of the discipline, we also identify courses by theme for students who wish to develop expertise in one or two subfields (e.g., urban geography, cultural and historical geography). The Human Geography programs appeal to students who wish to develop an integrative understanding of the cultural, economic, political and social forces that shape how people use and experience the environments they live in. These programs offer training in quantitative and qualitative research methods, including GIS and Remote Sensing.
Note: Double minors in Geography may only overlap 1.0 credit. Students combining any of our Minor programs with a Major/Specialist Geography program will normally be allowed to overlap only 1.5 credits towards both programs.
This is an open enrolment program. A student who has completed 4.0 credits may enrol in the program.
