Hons in Geographic Data Science (HBA)

Geographic Data Science is offered at the University of Toronto St. George campus by the Department of Geography and Planning, leading to an Honours Bachelor of Arts as a Major. The program equips students with the theoretical, technical, and applied foundations for using geographic and spatial data to formulate and answer questions across a range of fields, teaching methods for spatial data production, analysis, and presentation through tools such as geovisualization, spatial analysis and statistics, geocomputation, and remote sensing. Students choose one of three streams: Human Systems, Urban Systems, or Physical and Environmental Systems. The Major requires 7.5 credits, including at least 2.0 credits at the 300-level or higher with at least 0.5 credit at the 400-level.
