Major and Minor in Human Geography

The Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences (Faculty of Science) offers both a BA major and minor in Human Geography, as well as an Arts minor for the BSc General Program. A student enrolling in Human Geography should confer with the Human Geography Program Student Advisor before registration each year.
MAJOR IN HUMAN GEOGRAPHY

Students planning to proceed to graduate programs in Geography or professional programs in planning should consult the BA program advisor in the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences with respect to the choice of their minor.

A major in Human Geography requires a minimum of *30 to a maximum of *48 at the senior level in EAS courses and cross-listed courses specified below.

These must include at least *6 in EAS Human Geography courses at the 400 level. Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Human Geography courses are those denoted by a second digit of 9 in the course number, e.g. EAS X9X. Other EAS courses that are not Human Geography courses may also be taken as part of the major and will be included in the minimum and maximum but at least *18 of the required minimum of *30 must be in Human geography.
The following courses are required:

One of EAS 100, 101 or 102; one of EAS 190, 191 or 192, one of EAS 290, 291 or 294 and 221.
Notes:

1. Cross-listed courses in the Faculty of Arts that may be counted toward the major in Human Geography: ANTHR 323; PHIL 355; POL S 432; SOC 251. See section 43.3(5) for Faculty of Arts regulations pertaining to cross-listed courses.
2. Students may take EAS courses other than those listed as Arts courses for credit towards the degree, providing that a majority of the units of course weight in EAS are for Arts courses (i.e. courses designated as EAS X9X).
3. Students who major in Human Geography may not choose Earth and Atmospheric Sciences as their minor.
