Program details
Overview
Geography at the University of Winnipeg is offered as either a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Arts, each in three-year, four-year, and Honours formats, with a Minor also available; the Science option requires Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S. The department organizes study into four areas: Physical Geography, Human Geography, Regional Geography, and Geomatics, covering topics from landforms, weather, and climate to agricultural systems, cities, and cultural expressions, as well as cartography, GIS, and remote sensing under Geomatics. The degree can also serve as a teachable major or minor within the university's Education Program. Delivery is on the Winnipeg campus under general admission requirements otherwise. Career paths cited on the program page include city, rural, and regional planning, environmental and social policy work, market assessment, international development, and tourism for the human and regional side, and natural resource assessment, agricultural development, conservation, and hydrology for the physical side, with geomatics graduates moving into cartography, remote sensing, and GIS-based work in resource management, agriculture, forestry, crime analysis, and planning. The program suits students wanting either a science- or arts-based route into geographic study, including future teachers.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The program page defers to The University of Winnipeg's general admission requirements; for the Science stream, applicants must also have either Pre-Calculus Mathematics 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S, with Chemistry 40S and Physics 40S also possibly required depending on course choices. Applicants whose first language is not English, and who are not from an English-exempt country, must meet the university's English proficiency requirement, set out on The University of Winnipeg's own admission requirements page: IELTS Academic 6.5 overall; TOEFL iBT 4.5 overall with no component below 4.0 for tests taken on or after January 21, 2026 (86 overall with no component below 20 for tests taken before that date); Duolingo English Test 120; Pearson PTE Academic 58; CAEL 60 (CAEL online 70); LanguageCert Academic 67; or Cambridge C1 Advanced/C2 Proficiency 180, with results no more than two years old. International applicants apply online through the university's application portal and pay a non-refundable CAD $120 application fee, with official transcripts sent directly from the issuing institution to the Admissions Office; recommended international deadlines are June 15 for Fall (September), October 15 for Winter (January), and February 15 for Spring (May), and applying three to four months ahead is encouraged to allow time for study-permit processing.
Application Details
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens, permanent residents and refugees) apply directly to the University of Winnipeg: for the Faculties of Arts, Business and Economics, Kinesiology and Science the suggested deadline is July 2 for Fall (September) entry, November 1 for Winter (January) entry and March 1 for Spring (May) entry; the Faculty of Education recommends March 1 for high-school and mature applicants, with a final deadline of June 1 subject to space. International applicants are advised to apply by June 15 (Fall, shown on the live page as an 'extended' deadline), October 15 (Winter) or February 15 (Spring). All of these are suggested rather than firm cut-offs: late applications may still be considered, and admission runs on an effectively rolling basis until a term is full. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
