Overview

Course Details

You would be hard-pressed to find a sector – from health care to real estate to energy – that does not intersect with geography. Geographers study the formation of landscapes and their effects on populations, considering the dynamics that connect the world, as well as the spatial divides and inequalities that fragment people and regions.

Students will explore these critical global issues:

Human migration and identity
Economic production and consumption
Geopolitical power
Global urbanization
The flow of knowledge, culture and data
Networks of global cities
Environmental change

At the Global Geography BA program at York University, you will earn distinctive interdisciplinary knowledge and skills through hands-on classroom activities, field- and lab-based exercises, and community engagement.

You’ll gain technical know-how and experience in geographic analysis, methodological approaches and spatial thinking while enhancing your communication, reasoning and leadership skills to address environmental and societal issues.
