BA/BS in Remote Sensing

This Bachelor of Science program in remote sensing covers geography, environmental science and physics, combined with specialized techniques for recording and interpreting satellite and aerial imagery. Students use dedicated laboratory equipment to study how remote sensing is applied to monitoring and measuring environmental and physical processes. Coursework combines physical geography and environmental science theory with hands-on training in image acquisition and interpretation, preparing graduates for roles in environmental monitoring, resource management, urban planning or further graduate study. Students with a sufficiently high GPA in their fourth year may complete an honours thesis. The program is delivered at the Lethbridge campus, with intake in the Fall and Winter terms, and is housed within the Department of Geography & Environment, drawing on faculty expertise in physical geography and environmental monitoring.
