Program Details

Human Environment School: Concordia University Faculty: Faculty of Arts and Science Degree: Bachelor Field of Study: Geography Description: Geography explores the complexity of, and the relations between, cultural and natural systems. It examines the ongoing radical transformation of the earth and space by human action, and focuses on the meaning that people attach to community, space, place and landscape. In addition to learning a variety of technical skills (cartography, statistical methods, and computer-based geographic information systems), students acquire a better understanding of the world (from the local community, to regional and global scales), the place of humans in it, and how to promote effective and efficient policies for managing our environment. All programs have a common core at the introductory and intermediate levels. This Major program provides a basic, thorough background to those who are interested in the environment, but do not necessarily wish to follow a career in research. Students acquire useful and highly transferable analytical, synthetic, research and writing skills, as well as technical skills in geographic information systems (GIS), spatial analysis and statistics.
