Program overview
The University of Winnipeg Geography program is divided into four areas of study:
Physical Geography examines components of the natural environment including landforms, weather and
climate, soils and vegetative systems, and their impacts on humans.
Human Geography focuses on variations in the “human landscape” around the world–its agricultural
systems, cities, industries, cultural expressions, and the particular problems faced by different societies.
Regional Geography combines both the physical and human features within specific areas of the world and
provides a comprehensive understanding of the area in question.
Geomatics courses develop skills in cartography, map reading, interpretation of satellite images, and—
using the department’s computer labs—computer mapping, Geographical Information Systems (GIS),
satellite image analysis, and statistical data analysis.

regional), policy development, market assessment, location of business and industry, international
development, and tourism.
Physical geographers work in natural resource assessment and management, agricultural development, soil
and resource conservation, hydrology, and the atmospheric and geological sciences.
Those who focus on geomatics find jobs related to cartography, remote sensing, and in particular,
applications of Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
If you’re interested in becoming a teacher, Geography can be used as a teachable major or minor in the
Education Program. Postgraduate training in geography can lead to teaching opportunities at colleges and
universities, or to research positions in government or industry.
