Geography

Geography opens up worlds of discovery for students. Learn how to analyze the variation in human activity that exists among places, regions and countries. Explain why some places are more or less developed than others, suggest ways in which development can be planned and examine the relationship between the natural environment and human activities. 

How will I focus my studies?

Geography majors receive specialized training in one of the program’s three options: geographic information science, globalization and development and natural resources and environment. An individualized program of study is also available combining elements of the three options.
