Program details
Overview
The Major Concentration in Physical Geography, part of the Bachelor of Arts and Science, provides training in systematic areas of physical geography, including geomorphology, hydrology, soil biogeochemistry, biogeography, and climatology. Students examine how physical, chemical, and biological processes interact across spatial and temporal scales to shape distinct environments, and study ecosystem services alongside sustainability challenges facing communities that depend on them. The program includes field courses providing direct exposure to environmental data collection, together with quantitative methods courses such as GIS and remote sensing. Sample courses include Environmental Systems, Geospatial Analysis, Subarctic Field Studies, and Geocryology. Related majors include Urban Studies and Sustainability, Science, and Society. The program can lead to further study or careers in fields such as environmental consulting, policy analysis, and urban planning.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants apply directly to the Bachelor of Arts and Science, not the Faculty of Arts; the program page sets no admission criteria of its own. McGill's admission requirements vary by educational background (Quebec CEGEP or high school, Ontario high school, other Canadian high school, U.S. high school, international curricula, home-schooling, university transfer, or mature-student status); grades equal to or above the published minimums do not guarantee admission, and the review may consider the complete academic record. English proficiency is required unless exempt: IELTS Academic 6.5 with no component below 6.0, TOEFL iBT 90, Duolingo English Test 125, or PTE Academic 65.
