Description

Laurier Waterloo’s Geography programs help you understand the complex systems that shape our world—natural and human-made. Whether you’re interested in climate change, urban planning, sustainability or spatial data, you’ll learn through hands-on fieldwork, lab training and digital tools like GIS and remote sensing.

The Bachelor of Arts (BA) emphasizes human geography and planning, while the Bachelor of Science (BSc) focuses on earth systems and physical geography. A third option, the BSc in Geography and Geomatics, prepares you to specialize in geospatial technology, with pathways to research, graduate studies or careers in environmental science and data analysis.
