Geography

School: Vancouver Island University
Faculty: Humanities and Social Sciences
Degree: Bachelor
Field of Study: Geography
Description: Geography is the study of earth spaces and places. Geographers are concerned with the distribution and patterning of physical and human phenomena in earth space, including the nature and magnitude of human impact on natural environments. Protecting sustainable environments and managing the earth’s valued resources – land, water, and air – are of vital interest to geographers. The geographic concepts of place and landscape provide a framework for understanding the role of culture in the evolution and development of urban and rural landscapes. Political, social, and economic processes, when examined from a spatial (geographic) and temporal (historical) perspective, enable students to appreciate and understand the dynamic processes associated with the development of local and regional landscapes.

The Bachelor of Arts major in Geography features two areas of specialization: Natural Resource Management or Urban Growth Management, as well as a general stream designed to broaden an understanding of physical and human geography.
