GIS is based on the integration of digital spatial data, mapping software, and spatial analysis tools. GIS has been a core method in Geographical research for almost two decades, but is also rapidly growing in importance outside Geography, in part because of the huge amounts of new spatial data being generated by ubiquitous sensors such as smartphones with GPS locators.
A growing number of research areas and careers require knowledge of GIS and cartographic presentation skills. This minor program provides training in the theory and practical application of Geographic Information Science and systems for spatial analysis, spatial data management, and cartographic representation, and is an excellent option for students pursuing Human Geography, City Studies, Critical Development Studies, Historical and Cultural Studies, Sociology, Political Science, Anthropology, Environmental Studies and Environmental Science.

The Minor in Health Humanities provides an interdisciplinary exploration of human health and illness through the methods and materials of the creative arts, humanities, and critical social sciences. Students’ understanding of the humanistic, philosophical, historical, and artistic study of health—past and present—will be developed by attending closely to how literature, philosophy, history, and critical social sciences reveal the aesthetic, ethical, and multicultural contexts of health, disability, medical research and policy. This interdisciplinary Minor program is open to all undergraduates regardless of major or disciplinary backgrounds. See the following website for more information.
Students will note that some courses at the B-, C-, and D-levels may have additional prerequisites; therefore, students selecting the Minor as a Subject POSt must choose their courses carefully to ensure that they have the necessary prerequisites. Permission to count courses indicated by an asterisk (*) towards the Minor in Health Humanities must be received from the Program Supervisor, and will be granted in cases where the student’s work demonstrably engages Health Humanities-related content and/or research methods.
Note: Relevant Health Humanities-related courses selected from other academic units and disciplines, not already listed below, may be approved for the Minor in Health Humanities on a case-by-case basis.
