Department of Geography, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences.
The Department of Geography provides students with a broad range of courses in Human and Physical Geography which focus on the nature and evolution of the numerous and complex physical and human environment systems of the world. Students are required to select courses from both the human and physical fields. Within the program of studies it is possible for students through course selection to follow a particular line of interest in, for example, Rural Geography, Resource Management, Urban and Economic Geography, Biophysical Resources or Geomorphology.
The 100 level courses provide a foundation for the Geography programs and are prerequisites or are strongly recommended for many of the 200 level courses. The 200 level systematic courses are prerequisite to the corresponding advanced courses at the 300 and 400 level. All students should obtain a copy of the department program planning guide and consult with faculty before planning their course of studies.
Students contemplating graduate or professional programs of study following completion of the honours program should consult a departmental advisor for advice on additional courses that they should take.
The department also offers a B.Sc. honours Earth Surface Science program (jointly with Land Resources Science) and a B.Sc.(Env.) honours Geography program which are described in the schedule of studies for each of the programs (Section IX).
The following courses offered by the Department of Land Resource Science may be counted as Geography credits: 46-215, 64-203,
87-201, 87-360.
