| What it is | A BA in Geography covers the physical Earth — landforms, climate, ecosystems — alongside human systems like culture, economics, and cities. You'll study both natural processes and how people shape and live in different places. It suits students curious about why the world works the way it does and interested in solving real-world problems across environment and society. | This program combines the study of global economics, politics, and development issues to understand how countries and communities interact in an interconnected world. You'll examine poverty, trade, governance, and social change across different regions, drawing on economics, political science, and other disciplines. The co-op requirement means you'll alternate between classroom semesters and paid work placements with organizations focused on international development or global affairs, making it a fit for students who want practical experience alongside theory. | You study the causes, effects, and solutions to conflict at local, national, and global scales, drawing on geography, politics, development, and social policy. This program emphasizes understanding conflict through multiple disciplines rather than focusing narrowly on one field. It suits students interested in humanitarian work, policy analysis, diplomacy, or activism who want a broad foundation in how societies experience and resolve disputes. |
