Geography


Arts, Science and Engineering:

Geography is concerned with the spatial variations of human and physical phenomena, the processes which produce these variations and the interrelationships between people and their environments. Fields that have always been of importance to geographers are well represented in the department. Regional courses dealing with Canada, S.E. Asia and the Caribbean explore the past and present geography of these areas. Likewise there are clusters of courses relating to urban, economic, cultural, historical and physical geography. Combined with these offerings are specialties such as those dealing with water resources and resource management, urban and regional planning, ecological studies, landforms, arctic climates and environments and the social geography of cities and rural areas.

The department also offers a Specialized Honours BA in geography and urban studies.

Prerequisites: The specific course prerequisites listed for geography courses in this calendar are intended to ensure that students do not unwittingly enrol in courses for which they have inadequate preparation. In some cases, students lacking the stated course prerequisite(s) may be permitted to enrol in the course by written permission of the course director.

Atkinson:

Atkinson does not offer a degree or certificate in geography, but offers courses.
