What it is	You study both human geography — how people organize societies, economies, and cultures across regions — and physical geography, which covers landforms, climate systems, and natural environments. This program includes a co-op option, meaning you can complete paid work terms with employers in government, nonprofits, or environmental organizations alongside your coursework. It suits students interested in understanding global issues from multiple angles, whether through social, economic, or environmental lenses.	A BA General with an Area of Concentration lets you study one subject in depth — say English Studies or Economics — while taking electives across other humanities and social sciences. Unlike a specialized honours program, this approach gives you flexibility to explore multiple fields without committing fully to a single discipline. It suits students who have a clear interest in one area but want room to discover related subjects and keep career options open.
