Geography is the study of places, exploring both the physical features of the earth and the relationship between people and their environments. The study of geography develops an understanding of the principles of ecological and physical systems; of the cultural, social, economic, and political forces acting on those systems; and of the management, planning, or scientific tools necessary to meet environmental challenges and opportunities.

At Mount Allison, the Geography program explores courses in both human and physical geography, and is designed for students interested in the study of social sciences at various spatial and temporal scales. Geography students take a combination of courses in both Environmental Science and Environmental Studies, as well as options about planning, urban studies, and environmental social justice.
