Undergraduate

This program is designed for students wishing to concentrate on Geography. It introduces the basic concepts in human, physical and environmental geography and requires everyone to master the important computer, cartographic, writing, GIS, and statistical skills required of a professional geographer. Within this program it is possible to include a balanced mix of Geography courses, or to specialize in techniques, human, physical or environmental topics. Careful selection of electives from complementary programs can enhance specializations within this program.

Note: Students who joined U of G prior to F20 can still follow the schedule of studies for the BSc Minor in GIS and Environmental Analysis. Those who have joined after F20 will follow the BSc Minor in Applied Geomatics

The BSc. Environmental Geomatics is currently admissions paused. Not accepting applications for Fall 2024; interested students are encouraged to consider the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences program, especially the major in Environment and Resource Management. 

The B.Sc. (Env.) program is designed to provide a strong interdisciplinary grounding in environmental sciences. Management and decision-making skills are emphasized for the application of scientific knowledge to environmental problems and the evaluation of environmental policies. This program promotes practical problem-solving and communications skills and includes experiential learning opportunities such as co-op, research and international exchange programs.
