Program overview
Bachelor of Arts - Geography is a four year honours route at Nipissing University in North Bay, Ontario. The Bachelor of Arts - Geography curriculum covers human and physical geography, spatial analysis, geographic information systems, population and settlement patterns and regional development across four years.
Studied as a single major rather than inside a dual degree, Bachelor of Arts - Geography gives students the full depth of the subject and room for electives across the faculty. Taking Bachelor of Arts - Geography on its own carries one implication worth stating. Geographic information systems have quietly become one of the most employable technical skills in this field, and a second specialisation or a graduate route later adds a second professional direction on top of it, which is worth weighing before choosing Bachelor of Arts - Geography over a dual route.
No CIP code check applies to Bachelor of Arts - Geography, since the field of study requirement reaches non degree credentials rather than degrees. Study at this level does not carry spousal open work permit eligibility, so anyone considering Bachelor of Arts - Geography with a partner should plan on a single income.
