Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Associate of Arts Degree in Geography is a two-year, 60-credit undergraduate Human Geography program from the Faculty of Arts, combining the university's Associate of Arts Degree framework with a Geography concentration. Required courses include Our Human World (GEOG 1101) and Our Dynamic Earth (GEOG 1102) in the first year, followed by Mapping and Geographic Information Systems (GEOG 2400), a research-methods course (Doing Field Research or Turning Data into Useful Information), and two further courses chosen from options covering earth systems, urban geography, and regional studies such as British Columbia, Canada, East Asia, or South Asia. The program builds applied skills in geographic information systems (GIS) software alongside topical coursework in human and physical geography. A minimum grade of C is required in each course, and courses must be transferable to Simon Fraser University, the University of British Columbia, the University of Northern British Columbia, or the University of Victoria. Graduates receive the Associate of Arts Degree in Geography and may continue into KPU's Bachelor of Arts, Major in Applied Geography. Intakes run in September, January, and May.
