Extractions: The many different careers that Carleton Geography graduates are pursuing lead us to recognize our responsibility to provide an educational experience which provides both breadth and depth. The many and varied opportunities - some quite unexpected to us - that our graduates have found to use their talents also demonstrate that it is not possible to identify any single career path that would constitute the normal experience for geography graduates. Our Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral programs are designed in response to this reality. The Bachelors programs provide sound FOUNDATIONS in various aspects of geography. The B.Sc. (Physical Geography) provides this foundation in the area of the earth surface environments, with study of climate, climatic change, earth materials, geomorphological processes, biogeography and biophysical resources. The Geographic Information Processing B.A. and B.Sc. provide sound foundations in the development and applications of remote sensing and geomatics. The B.A. programs provide the opportunities to pursue interrelated human geography topics and to choose integrated programs of study that address physical geography and the human-natural environment interface.

Extractions: The Geography Program, which is housed in the Earth Sciences Department, covers physical earth systems (land, atmosphere, hydrosphere, and biosphere) and human systems (economic, political and cultural), and the interactions among these in the terrestrial environment. As such, it is an integrative curriculum providing the opportunity to study basic relationships in real space. The Geography Program explores the techniques and the physical and human aspects of the field. Students develop analytic, systematic and synthetic capabilities to perform independent or directed research of particular geographic problems and situations. To accomplish this, students have available a wide variety of courses from geography and related fields. The Earth Sciences Department has a map library containing both conventional maps and remote sensing imagery. It is equipped with a photographic dark room and a variety of advanced instruments for data gathering and analysis. The faculty possesses special expertise in meteorology, climatology, micro-climates, geomorphic and seismic hazards, energy, transportation and land use, demography, economic, political and historical geography. The small size and broad expertise of the faculty provides an unusual opportunity for undergraduate students to work closely with their professors. The involvement of faculty members in applied situations, both in community and advisory capacities and in professional consultation, provides an excellent opportunity for advanced students to get "hands on" paraprofessional experience.

http://geography.bu.edu/focus_trans.html

Extractions: The Department of Geography at Boston University offers two undergraduate programs: one in physical geography and one in human geography. There are crossover courses to give all students exposure to both sides of the discipline and both programs stress methods of spatial analysis, including Geographical Information Systems and Remote Sensing. Human geography is the study of the spatial organization of human activity and human interaction with the physical environment. The human geography concentration can follow one of two tracks. The general track combines courses in economic, political, and cultural geography. The more focused economic geography track emphasizes spatial patterns of production, consumption, distribution, and communication in the regional and global economies. Both tracks stress the application of analytical methods, including Geographic Information Systems (GIS). Professional Opportunities Graduating human geography students may find employment in urban and regional planning departments; consulting firms specializing in transportation, industrial location and retail site planning; and state and federal agencies with responsibilities for social services, economic development, and infrastructure policy. Human geography also provides an excellent background for students planning to do graduate studies in fields such as business administration, transportation planning, and the law.

Extractions: The subject matter is organized into two levels. At the first level, geography is divided into six essential elements. By essential we mean necessary; we must look at the world in this way. By element, we mean a building block for the whole. At the second level, each essential element contains a number of geography standards, each of which contains a set of related ideas and approaches to the subject matter of geography. There are 18 standards. Because we cannot discuss all of them here, lets pick one essential element, the World in Spatial Terms, and look at one standard to get a sense of what the content of geography looks like when it is converted to standards language. The World in Spatial Terms is the beginning of geography; if we study the relationships between people, places, and environments, then we must do so by mapping information about them into a spatial context. And so the first standard, the first of three in this element, is how to use maps and other geographic representations, tools, and technologies to acquire, process, and report information from a spatial perspective. Broad, yes, but deliberately so.

Extractions: Environmental Studies Home Page Department of Geography Home Page Admissions Resources ... Joint Honours Programs Geography is concerned with both the natural and human environment, studying how it has been shaped according to human need, how patterns of human activities are structured over space, and how these are influenced by environmental factors. At the University of Waterloo, we stress the study of environmental change at a variety of scales from local to global. Our courses are highly integrated to encourage the study of the environment from many perspectives. These include the practical application of geographical studies, the role of field work, and the use of computer techniques such as model building, geographical information systems and digital remote sensing. Geography is considered both a natural and social science and flourishes in an academic organization where the multi-disciplinary approach is emphasized. The Bachelor of Environmental Studies (BES) programs in Geography (Honours and General) provide students with considerable freedom to choose supporting electives from any department in the University. Students can develop programs to suit their particular interests. Joint Honours programs with a number of other departments are listed in 'Joint Honours Programs'. The formal admission requirements of the program are listed under ' Admission s'. Six OSS credits (minimum of 4 U courses plus 2 U or M courses) either/or six OAC credits including English are required. OSS and OAC courses and grades will be treated equally for admission. The Regular Honours Geography program provides a sound foundation in the discipline, and prepares the student for specialization at the graduate level in almost any aspect of Geography. The mandatory content courses include a series of integrated courses in both physical and human geography. Although the Honours program is broad in scope, students may concentrate their courses in one or more of the major areas of specialization offered in the Department: Biophysical Systems; Settlement Systems and Development; Geomatics; and Environment, Resources and Economy. The fourth year includes an optional research project, the Senior Honours Thesis or three fourth year courses (1.5 units).
