Geography

BA and BSc Programs

Trent School of the Environment offers BA and BSc programs in Geography. Students may earn a single-major or joint-major degree with a wide range of other University departments or programs. Students earning a degree with a major in another subject may also obtain a minor in Geography. The program has a strong emphasis on field-based learning and interdisciplinary study. Many courses are cross-listed with other departments and programs, including an Option in Geographical Information Systems linked with Fleming College. Students in the Honours program are encouraged to explore the thesis and community-based research options as valuable training for postgraduate studies and job-related experience.

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
Hands on a map

Program

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