This is an interdepartmental program leading to a B.A. degree in which students combine courses in human geography (GGR prefix) with courses in physical geography (EES prefix).
Guidelines for firs year course selection
EES courses presume a background in physical sciences and mathematics. It is recommended that first year students take EESA01H3, EESA06H3, GGRA02H3 and GGRA03H3 and at least 1.0 credit from among [BIOA01H3 and BIOA02H3], [CHMA10H3 and CHMA11H3], [PHYA10H3 or PHYA11H3], [MATA30H3 and MATA35H3/A36H3/A37H3].
