Geography
Explore the interactions between people and the physical environment through either the B.A. or B.Sc. pathways of this popular degree program.
B.A. students focus their studies on how people encounter and shape their environments, while B.Sc. students examine the human and natural forces that shape the physical world, investigating topics in climate, hydrology, natural hazards, soils, and earth materials.
With numerous options for joint majors and an emphasis on field-based learning, Geography at Trent offers you a wide variety of ways to deepen your learning in the classroom and beyond to dive into the study of human and natural spatial formations and patterns.
