Geography

The Geography Program at Trent offers students views of the physical earth (via a science degree) and the human social world (via a studies degree). From Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and mapping to earth's climate system, soils, and landscapes, to explorations of social and political systems, issues, and solutions to problems, students can tailor their Geography degree to focus on subjects that interest them. We offer 3- and 4-year degrees in science and arts, as well as options focusing on the Circumpolar North, GIS, and Urban Planning.

If you have a specific interest in the environmental aspects of water- it's quality, quantity, availability and management, you might want to read about the Water Sciences degree at Trent, where students are focused on the biology, chemistry, geography, and environmental aspects of water.

The Experience

Fieldwork is the heart of Geography

Geography is a field science and the best way to learn about geography is to get outside the office, the classroom, and the library and see what is going on.

The Experience

Program

Geography is the investigation of our natural and social worlds, and how people share and interact with the planet.
