Double Degree - Bachelor of Arts - Geography & Bachelor of Business Administration - Political Science (Optional Co-op)

Geography deals with the diverse landscapes around the world. It is about everything from the original formation of the earth’s surface, to the effects people have on their environment: past, present and future.

The primary focus of the program is to give students the skills necessary to analyze the organization and interaction of all creatures and ecological processes on the planet — and sometimes beyond it — to address real-world issues.

The department is particularly strong in the areas of geographical information science (GIS) and remote sensing, water research and rural & urban studies; areas of spectacular growth in research, teaching and employment for graduates.

Students will have access to the latest hardware and software available in geography, economics, environment, agriculture, ecology, planning etc., as well as state-of-the-art facilities like the Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building. This facility provides the infrastructure to support the research interests of the University of Lethbridge's award-winning faculty, students' instructors, as they investigate diverse areas such as: weather and climate, water, glaciers, sediments, plants and insects.

Situated in the Oldman River Valley, the university’s location offers an excellent center for field research, surrounded by farm and rangelands, and in easy reach of the Rockies and the city of Calgary.
