Human Geography Subfields

(Applicable to all Geography programs)

Human Geography at McMaster encompasses five major subfields or themes: Economic Geography, Environment, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Spatial Analysis, Health and Population, and Urban Geography. It should be noted that each subfield has its own sequence of courses and prerequisites (See the Course Listings  section of this Calendar). Students can elect to take some or all of the upper- level courses from different subfields.

Other Courses

Courses not distinguished by subfield include core courses such as research methods, statistics, field courses, internship opportunities and capstone experiences, as well as a broad suite of regional and topical geography courses.

In planning a program, it is important for students to take note of the prerequisites for certain upper-level courses. Further, not every Geography course listed above is offered every year. For course availability, students are advised to consult “Class Search” on Mosaic or contact the School of Geography and Earth Sciences after April 1st for the list of courses that will be offered in the following academic year.

For additional information regarding Geography and Earth Sciences, please see the School of Geography and Earth Sciences (Faculty of Science)  section of this calendar.
