Geography is the study of places, exploring both the physical features of the earth and the relationship between people and their environments.

At Mount Allison University, the Geography program explores courses in both human and physical geography and is designed for students interested in the study of social sciences at various spatial and temporal scales.

The Geography program develops an understanding of:

• the principles of ecological and physical systems
• the cultural, social, economic and political forces acting on those systems
• the social implications of environmental change, and the application of planning theory and methodology to build healthy, more resilient communities.

Geography students take a combination of courses in both Environmental Science and Environmental Studies, and options about planning, urban studies, and environmental, and social justice.

Geography is available as:

• BA major (60 credits)

Experiential learning opportunities are offered in every degree.
