Geography bridges the natural sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. Students in Geography approach problems from ecological and spatial perspectives. An ecological perspective is useful for investigating many environmental and resource management questions that focus upon relationships between humans and the natural environment. Alternatively a spatial perspective is concerned with understanding locational choices and locational relationships underlying human (social, cultural, historical, economic or political) behaviour at geographic scales ranging from the local to the global.

Job and Career Opportunities

Geography examines relationships involving human beings in their natural and built environments; it is the study of people, places, and environments from a spatial perspective. With long-standing teaching and research traditions in the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities, the discipline is uniquely positioned to contribute to the analysis of a wide variety of con temporary social and environmental problems and public policy issues.
