| What it is | You study both the natural world (climate, landforms, ecosystems) and human societies (cities, culture, economics, politics), combined with applied aviation knowledge. This blend lets you explore how geography shapes air travel routes, airport planning, and aviation's environmental impact in ways a standard geography program does not. It suits people curious about how Earth works and interested in the aviation industry. | This program introduces you to how Earth's physical systems — climate, geology, water — interact with human society and geography. You explore environmental challenges through both natural science and social perspectives, rather than focusing on just one. It suits students curious about environmental issues from multiple angles who want hands-on experience through co-op placements. |
