Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Geography and Environment and Commercial Aviation Management (EO)

Western University

Program Description

Geography is a broad discipline that combines social and natural science to examine the environment – the World in which we live. Geography examines the spatial relationships between humans and the natural environment. It attempts to answer questions related to where, how and why such spatial patterns and processes exist and how they interact. It uses tools of spatial analysis, Geographic Information Science, to answer many important questions that we face as a society. Geography is inherently interdisciplinary and provides a broad, well-rounded education that is an appropriate base for many different careers.

The Western Geography and Environment department is committed to excellence in research and teaching. The four research clusters include Environment Development & Health, Geographic Information Science, Physical Geography, and Urban Studies. The faculty conduct research right here in London and around the world in a variety of settings. Western is actively building research strength in the area of “Urban Environments” with new faculty appointments to address the many geographic issues that arise from the majority of humanity now living in urban settings.
