The Bachelor of Science, Minor in Geography provides students with a broad foundation in physical geography and an introduction to geographical information systems (GIS). The program focuses on the study of the distribution of biophysical phenomena (climate, land, plants, animals, water), on Earth and examines the processes that control their origin and evolution.
Study the interactions between people and the environment. Examine the spatial nature of these relationships. Seek solutions to climate change, global migration and sustainability.
Geography is the study of earth spaces and places. Geographers are concerned with the distribution and patterning of physical and human phenomena in earth space, including the nature and magnitude of human impact on natural environments. Protecting sustainable environments and managing the earth’s valued resources – land, water and air – are of vital interest to geographers.
The program offers a wide selection of math and science courses, most with strong lab components. General Science can lead to virtually any job requiring a general science background, from medicine to research or teaching.
Develop industry-relevant skills to succeed in management-level positions in private and public sector organizations. Make employer connections and earn academic credits as you participate in paid co-op work experience, international exchange and networking opportunities.
The Forest Fundamentals Harvesting Practices Program includes employability skills training, foundation, occupational skills, hazard assessment, workplace work experience. Graduates will gain knowledge and skills in both classroom and hands-on settings that will help them to be successful as they continue within the industry.
The 120-hour (three-week) field-based Forestry Field Skills program (FoFS) trains individuals in three key forestry areas of demand and employment: Safety and the Environment, Silviculture, and Wildfire Management and Control.
This program provides the technical training required for starting a career in most fields of forest technology. The program emphasizes the recognition and appreciation of all the major values of the forest including timber, recreation, wildlife, range, fish, water, and visual landscapes.
