| Description: | Geography is a discipline that integrates the natural and social sciences; it explains how human and environmental systems function and interact. The University of Winnipeg Geography program is divided into five areas of study: Physical Geography, Human Geography, Regional Geography, Geographical Techniques, and General Geography.
Since geographers have a breadth of knowledge crossing many disciplines, and because they usually acquire a wide variety of skills (e.g. critical thinking, writing, statistics, and mapping), they are valued in work environments requiring the integration, assessment, and presentation of information from a variety of sources (e.g. consulting firms and government agencies). |
