Geography
Ryerson Geography Works !As a geographer, your challenge is understanding the relationships among people, environment, location, and distance. The most effective tool of your trade is Geographic Information Systems (GIS), which allow you to search, map and analyze data for an intelligent comprehension of economic, social, urban and environmental issues. If you would like a career-oriented education that will give you the expertise to influence public policy and corporate strategies, and to help achieve sustainable development and improve standards of living, the Geographic Analysis program is the right choice. |
