COURSE CURRICULUM

The Bachelor of Arts Honours program in Geography at Trent University is a 20.0-credit degree that offers an in-depth exploration of human-environment relationships through a structured and flexible curriculum. Students complete 10.0 Geography (GEOG) credits, beginning with core foundational courses such as GEOG 1030H and 1040H, which are prerequisites for most upper-level studies, along with required courses including GEOG 2080H, 2090H, 2510H, and 3100H. Students then select additional courses from specified groups, including 1.0 credit from options like GEOG 2310H, 2320H, 2330H, 2710H, or 2810H, and 0.5 credit from GEOG 2401H, 2460H, or 2540H. To ensure academic depth, the program requires 3.0 credits from Category A, 1.0 credit from Category B, and 0.5 credit from Category C, along with an additional 1.0 GEOG credit beyond these requirements. The program maintains academic rigor by ensuring that no single course fulfills more than one category requirement, although approved reading courses may count toward certain categories. Exemptions from GEOG 2080H may apply for students with specific prior coursework, though total credit requirements remain unchanged. In addition to major requirements, students must complete overall university degree requirements, including an Indigenous course credit, ensuring a well-rounded and inclusive education.
