PROGRAMS AND RESEARCH FACILITIES: The Department of<br />

Geography offers programs leading to an M.A. degree and B.A. and<br />

B.Sc. degrees at the Honours and pass levels, and participates in a<br />

number of combined major programs In addition, the Department<br />

offers four-year Honours programs leading to either a BA or BSc<br />

degree in Geography with a Concentration in Geomatics; a five-year<br />

Honours degree in Geography concurrently with a B.Ed. degree; and a<br />

four-year Honours degree concurrently with a co-op work<br />

program. The discipline of geography has a broad scope and<br />

combines elements of both the social and natural sciences. Two<br />

principal divisions of the subject exist-human geography and physical<br />

geography-linked by a common background, a mutual concern for<br />

humans and the environment and a body of related theory and<br />

methodology. Most courses emphasize structured labs and seminars in<br />

early years and progressively more independent work in later years,<br />

culminating in an optional Honours thesis in year 4. Field work<br />

features prominently in some courses. Physical laboratories and<br />

equipment are available for work in biogeography, climatology,<br />

geomorphology and soil science. Computer labs with geomatics<br />

software are also available for students interested in geographic<br />

information systems, remote sensing, surveying and digital mapping.<br />

The University Maps, Data and GIS Library contains an extensive<br />

collection of maps, atlases and geospatial datasets housed adjacent to<br />

the Geography Department.<br />
