Bachelor of Arts (Honours Geography in Environmental Resource Management)
The program, administered within the Department of Geography, provides students with specific training for resource management. It draws on courses from many disciplines to help students establish coherent links between the various cognate fields that study environmental problems. Since the program in Environmental Resource Management requires, at the same time, both a broad, interdisciplinary approach and specific technical training, students in their second year should begin to follow either a land or a water specialty track, and one of the management, aquatic ecology, parks and recreation, or technical group of specialties.
Total courses: forty.
Major requirements: twenty-three courses, consisting of:
(a) a "core" of nineteen courses, namely 42-100, 42-102, 42-103, 42-130, 42-131, 42-200, 42-220, 42-221, 42-231, 42-246, 42-249, 42-301, 42-302, 42-332, 42-334, 42-402, 42-490, and 42-491;
(b) and five other Geography (42-) or Planning (50-) courses. Of these, while any of the courses listed immediately below will satisfy the requirement, students are strongly urged to concentrate in one or the other specialty.

(All courses should be selected in consultation with a departmental program advisor.)
The combined program requirements of all other departments in the Faculty of Social Science are shown in their respective sections of this Calendar.
Programs combining Geography with a subject offered outside the Faculty of Social Science: Students interested in a particular combination not already included in the Calendar should consult with the Head of the Department of Geography and with the Head of the other department involved concerning the possibility of establishing such a program for degree credit and concerning the courses which must be taken.
