The Geographical Sciences curriculum centers on core relationships between living organisms—including human communities—and Earth's atmospheric, water, and geological systems. Students establish a robust grounding in earth sciences by selecting a minimum of two specialized upper-level tracks from five options: biogeography, climate studies, geospatial technology, landform evolution, or water systems.
Those drawn to environmental, cultural-historical, urban, economic, or regional studies may prefer the BA pathway (offering concentrations in Environmental Sustainability and Human Geography). Both BA and BSc degrees integrate technical coursework throughout their programs.
