Cert in Geography and Environment

This certificate programme provides a foundational introduction to how people, communities, and human societies interact with their environment, without requiring students to pursue specialized geographic expertise. Over 30 credits, students explore the social, cultural, and territorial dimensions of human-environment relationships, building analytical skills relevant to environmental, planning, and community-related fields. The programme is offered full-time or part-time on the Gatineau campus and leads to a first-cycle Certificate in Geography and Environment. Admission is possible with a college diploma (DEC) or equivalent, with a minimum of 15 completed university credits and a stated minimum average, or on the basis of relevant aptitude assessed through a questionnaire and possible interview, in which the quality of applicants' written French is also evaluated. Intake occurs in the Fall, Winter, and Summer terms.
