BA/BS in Geography and Environment is a bachelor's degree in Geography programme offered by Brandon University in Brandon, Canada. The programme is delivered on campus. Tuition for international students is CAD 648 per credit (CAD 172 per credit for local students).
The Geography and Environment program at Brandon University examines the relationships between the environment and society, and the interdependence among regions, natural systems, physical features, and cultural activities. Students approach geographic questions of location, spatial distribution, and regional processes from a spatial perspective, working toward a Bachelor's degree with a Geography major. The program combines classroom study with applied experience: practicum courses place students in on- or off-campus placements, and students may pursue Directed Studies or an Undergraduate Thesis for specialized research. A Co-operative Education designation is available for Geography majors, integrating paid work terms into the degree. Field courses cover techniques such as stream gauging and wetland data collection, and students have access to the Centre for Geomatics for GIS, remote sensing, and cartography work, as well as the John Langton Tyman Map Library. The program suits students drawn to fieldwork and spatial analysis, and prepares graduates for careers in urban and regional land-use planning, conservation and resource management, mapping, geographic information systems and remote sensing, parks and recreation, teaching, and research. It is delivered on campus at the John R. Brodie Science Centre in Brandon, Manitoba.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The Geography and Environment page on Brandon University's site states no admission requirements specific to this program beyond the general undergraduate admission policy referenced there. Entry follows Brandon's general undergraduate requirements: Manitoba high school graduates with no M, I or E designated courses (or a recognized GED/CAEC) receive a conditional offer on submitting the application, fee and transcript; out-of-province Canadian applicants need a minimum 60% average on the province's university-preparatory courses, including English. All applicants whose first language is not English, or who lack at least three years of English-medium secondary or post-secondary study, must meet Brandon's English Language Proficiency requirement: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall (min. 6.0 per band), TOEFL iBT 86 overall (min. 20 per section), Duolingo English Test 120 overall (min. 105 per component), PTE Academic 58, CAEL 60, or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 176 overall (min. 170 per component); exemptions include Manitoba Grade 12 English 40S at 70%+, IB Higher Level English 4+, AP English 4+, or Brandon's EAP Tier 4 program.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants apply directly to Brandon University: for Fall (September) 2027 entry the deadline is August 15, 2027, and for Winter (January) 2027 entry it is December 1, 2026. International applicants must apply earlier: April 1, 2027 for Fall 2027 entry, and August 1, 2027 for the next open Winter window (Winter 2028 entry), since the Winter 2027 international deadline of August 1, 2026 has already passed. Applications for the new academic year open October 1 each year. A late application for one term is automatically carried to the following term rather than rejected, but Brandon does not otherwise describe admission as rolling. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
