Course materials draw on a variety of social science perspectives and GIS mapping to address issues that arise while developing the natural environment. Students gain invaluable experience in their field of research through a 200-hour work placement in the private sector, research labs, non-profit organizations or the government.
Students are required to give lectures after completing a teaching seminar with the Centre for Teaching and Learning.
