Geography
|
| Description: | Do you dream of being a pilot? Take to the skies with the largest university-level aviation program in Canada.
You'll earn a Bachelor of Environmental Studies from one of the country's top-ranked geography departments -- and graduate with your Commercial Pilot Licence. There's no better way to appreciate geography than from several thousand feet above the ground. And your knowledge of geography will be an asset when you're navigating across continents.
Between the classroom and the cockpit, you'll gain a deep understanding of landforms, weather patterns, and the computer technology behind tools such as geographic information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. |
