This program leads to a Master of Arts or Master of Science in Geography, delivered on campus in Ottawa over two years of full-time study, with Fall entry. The Master of Arts stream examines how place, space, and environment interact to shape human activities, while the Master of Science stream focuses on environmental processes, patterns, and change linked to human impacts on climate, ecosystems, and resources. Students choose the stream that matches their research interests, working with department faculty on thesis or coursework-based research. It suits geography, environmental science, or related-discipline graduates pursuing advanced human or physical geography research ahead of doctoral study, government, environmental consulting, or planning careers.
