Overview
This Bachelor of Arts in Geography studies how human societies relate to the places and landscapes they inhabit, organized around three thematic streams: Resources, Environment and Society; Global Politics, Justice, and Sustainability; and Culture, Identity and Space. The degree is offered at Honours, Advanced, General, and Minor levels, with Honours and Advanced requiring four years and one hundred twenty credit hours, General requiring three years and ninety credit hours, and the Minor requiring eighteen credit hours, all delivered at the Fort Garry campus. Coursework builds skills in mapping spatial information and analyzing environmental and social patterns from local to global scales, reflecting the program's focus on how human societies, cultures, and economies interact with the physical environment. The program suits students interested in the spatial and social dimensions of environmental and political issues, offering flexibility to focus on resource and environmental questions, global political and justice themes, or cultural and spatial analysis depending on the stream chosen.

Application Details
Start Date:September, January and May
Application Deadline:Domestic applicants (Canadian citizens and permanent residents) apply directly to the University of Manitoba. As of this September 2026 fetch, the Direct Entry deadlines page shows only the Fall 2026 cycle in full - University 1 and the Diploma in Agriculture at May 1, 2026 domestic / March 1, 2026 international, other Direct Entry programs at March 1, 2026 - a cycle that has already closed, alongside minor Winter 2027 (Dec 1, 2026) and Summer 2027 (Apr 1, 2027) intake deadlines. No Fall 2027 Direct Entry deadline has been published yet, so specific 2027 dates cannot be stated for the university's main intake. The Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Jazz Studies deadline (January 15, applying equally to domestic and international applicants) is likewise confirmed only for the 2026-27 cycle, also closed, with no 2027-28 bulletin posted. These are described as fixed deadlines rather than rolling admission, and the university opens each new cycle's applications on October 1. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
