geogbanner

Geography and Earth & Environmental Science courses allow students to explore their world and their role in making the world a better place. Our courses integrate knowledge from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities into innovative approaches for working and living on Earth.

Come learn with us to gain skills that will allow you to get a job while exploring your world. You will study the natural environment and how people live in that environment. You will learn how to manage and solve challenges in topics such as natural resource management, urban growth, and climate change. We provide:
  • Diverse courses in topics including hydrology, geographic information systems (GIS), urban geography, geomorphology, weather and climate, food and society, and more…
  • Experienced faculty who are enthusiastic about teaching and care about your success. 
  • Small classes where you get the personal attention you need within a friendly and supportive learning environment. 
  • Courses focused on sustainability that transfer to universities in BC and beyond. 
  • Field work throughout British Columbia.
  • A first step towards jobs in the natural resource sector.
We invite you to also explore exciting developments with our Diploma in Environmental Studies and to visit us at Compass@ Okanagan Geography to learn more about our faculty and students’ work and geography activities in the Okanagan. 

You can also find us in the field using our map below (hint - you might find even more if you zoom out)!
