In addition, the optional paid cooperative work internship during the entire study period can help you gain valuable work experience and obtain employment or graduate study references. 

The Bachelor of Science in Geography is excellent preparation for studying for a Master of Science in Geography, Earth Science, Environmental Studies, or related fields. Choose the honors option to gain additional research experience, which you can include in your resume or postgraduate study application.

Physical Geography Career Prospects:

In its Successful Skills Report, the Canadian Conference Committee listed physical science professionals as one of the top 25 occupations that may experience a skills shortage in the next few years. A Bachelor of Geography prepares you to meet the growing demand in this field. 

You can find jobs in government agencies with environmental, conservation, or natural resource portfolios; environmental consulting companies; surveying or engineering companies; natural prospecting companies; forestry companies; and more.
