BA/BS in Geography

Geography at Trent University is offered through the Trent School of the Environment as both a Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Science, available as a single-major, joint-major, or minor. The program places a strong emphasis on field-based learning and interdisciplinary study of physical and human geography. Students may incur a small additional fee for field trips in certain courses. The Bachelor of Arts (General) credential requires 15.0 credits completed over three years of full-time study. Core requirements include foundational Geography courses, a course from a designated physical or human geography category, and courses drawn from further elective groupings, along with 0.5 credit from Trent's Approved Indigenous Course List, a requirement across all Trent undergraduate degrees. The program prepares graduates for further study or careers in environmental management, urban and regional planning, GIS analysis, and related fields.
