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 who want to specialize in applying their basic geographical and environmental knowledge in small advanced seminar and laboratory classes, while developing research, analytical and synthetic skills in an interactive and hands-on manner. These advanced courses are applied or highly specialized and integrate biophysical and social sciences. Students with strong grades have the option of doing an internship.
These courses are intended as guidelines. Speak to your guidance counsellor to see what courses are offered at your school.
