The B.A. program includes courses from each of these three fields. The number of required courses in each field varies according to whether a student is completing a Majors , Honours or Minors program in Geography, specific requirements for which are outlined on the following screens. The identification of key themes is intended as a guide only. Because human geography is an integrated discipline, it naturally encompasses more themes than listed below.
Many courses are relevant to more than one theme.
The four themes described in this guide are intended to show groups of courses from which a geography program may be designed. Through consultation with a departmental advisor, students are welcome to plan a program which combines courses from several themes. Regardless of the program selected, students begin their study of Geography in the first two years with introductory courses which serve as prerequisites for the upper-level courses. In the third and fourth years, students select courses from each of the three fields according to their particular background and interest. Third year courses provide analysis and understanding which can be further developed through the more specialized fourth year courses.
