Program Summary

Program Description

Study Geography in Niagara – one of the world’s most diverse social and natural landscapes. Geographers look at the world from a unique perspective, one that bridges the social and natural sciences. The programs are designed to combine theory and practical experience to train students in Human Geography, Physical Geography, and Geomatics.

Human Geography aims to understand the human world and its interaction with physical, built and symbolic landscapes. This knowledge is used to work towards more equitable societies.

Physical Geography aims to explain the geographic pattern of weather and climate, landform development and their interactions with the biosphere. This is done by studying processes at the Earth’s surface and how they interact with, affect and are affected by human activities.

Geomatics includes scientific and technological activities that integrate various fields, including cartography, remote sensing and geographical information systems (GIS).

The department has been blending theory and practice for more than five decades through experiential learning in labs, seminars, field courses, internships and much more. These experiences have been developed to help students apply what they learn in class outside the classroom walls.

Professors in these programs engage in a broad range of research activities and incorporate interactive elements into their courses. This often includes spending time outside of the classroom around campus and across Niagara. The goal is to prepare students for life after university, whether that be a career or further studies in Canada or abroad. The world is their classroom.
