Geography explores the study of locations and spatial relationships. Experts in this field investigate the distribution of phenomena across Earth's surface, examining the reasons behind their placement, variations between regions, and human-environment interactions. This discipline bridges the gap between social and natural sciences by analyzing how human societies and natural environments influence each other.
At Western University, Geography students complete their degree requirements by selecting courses from both environmental science and environmental studies programs. Those considering a Geography major are highly encouraged to undertake supplementary foundational coursework in subjects like chemistry, biology, geology, physics, mathematics, statistics, political science, anthropology, and history to build a robust academic base.
