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.
Designed for students planning to go on to graduate school or a career in research in the public or private sector. Building on a strong basic core, students develop high-order skills in small advanced-level seminar and laboratory courses and work one-on-one with a faculty member to develop a research project, collect and analyse data, write up the results and present them to their peers and faculty. A high level of performance is required to enter and remain in this program.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
