Geography
There are two themes in geography: physical geography and human geography. GEOG 120.3 introduces the student to physical geography while GEOG 130.3 introduces the student to human geography. GEOG 120.3 and 130.3 together with GEOG 222.3
and 280.3 provide geography students with a suitable background for
taking senior courses in geography. The B.A. program in Geography
follows Program Type B. The B.Sc. program in Geography follows Program
Type C.
GEOG 125.3 (primarily
intended for non-geography majors) introduces the student to geography
and environmental topics. Students who have completed GEOG 125.3 and would like to enter the Geography program must complete GEOG 120.3 and 130.3. GEOG 125.3 may be used to satisfy the science requirement in Program Types A, B and D.
Students intending
to major in geography should pursue the Four-year or Honours program.
The Three-year program in geography does not lead to a professional
career in geography or entrance to a graduate program in geography. The
Three-year, Four-year, and Honours degrees may be taken in various
combinations for Double Honours, e.g., geography and biology, geography
and archaeology, geography and history, geography and commerce.
Geography has a strong interdisciplinary focus and contributes
significantly to programs in Environmental Earth Sciences,
International Studies, Land Use and Environmental Studies and Regional
and Urban Planning. For details see the specific Interdisciplinary
program. A Co-operative Education program and four minors programs in
Geography may also be pursued.
Students who have received
transfer credit for geography courses taken at other universities are
expected to consult the department for academic advising.
Major Average
The major average in B.A. and B.Sc. Geography programs includes the grades earned in:
- GEOG 120.3 and GEOG 130.3 (GEOG 125.3 will be credited to Requirement 7 and will not be included in the major average.)
- All senior GEOG and all courses listed in the Major Requirement B6 or C6.
Residency Requirements in the Major
To receive a B.A. or B.Sc. degree in Geography, students must complete at least two-thirds of the following coursework (to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units) from the University of Saskatchewan.
- GEOG 120.3 and GEOG 130.3
- Minimum requirements in Major Requirement B6 or C6.
See Residency for additional details.

Bachelor of Arts Honours (B.A. Honours) - Geography
The Honours degree in human geography allows students to specialize in one field of human geography and to conduct a research project in that field. It prepares students for graduate studies in human geography.
Students interested in entering an Honours program should consult advisors in the department concerned before registering for their second year. Not more than 60 credit units of the courses comprising the B.A program may be in any one subject, and of the 120 credit units required for the B.A. degree, at least 66 credit units must be at the senior level. Application for admission to Honours is not considered until successful completion of at least 60 credit units with a Cumulative Weighted Average of at least 70% overall and at least 70% in the subject of Honours. In some programs, higher averages may be imposed. For further details, please see the Academic Information and Policies section.

Water Science - Specialization
The Specialization in Water Science can be taken in conjunction with the Four-Year B.Sc. or B.Sc. Honours degrees in Geography. The specialization is designed to provide students with a strong and structured physical understanding of the hydrological processes that affect the quantity and movement of surface and near-surface waters and the impacts of human activities on water supply and characteristics. Opportunities exist within the Specialization for students to explore atmosphere - land surface interactions through the application of Geographic Information Science technology in hydrological modelling, to explore ecosystem interactions of water, and to better understand the linkages between water, landscape and climate. Students are trained in the fundamental background and key practical skills required to address the emerging water problems in Canada.
