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 />
