Program summary
The Human Geography program at UTSC is concerned with the spatial patterns of human activity and the character of regions and places. Human Geography is well placed to explore the complex relationships between society and the natural environment as well as the social and economic problems of human land use and settlement. Students of Geography will find that it is an exciting and useful program of study that can lead to a wide variety of very successful careers.
