The human–environment tradition makes geography one of the most diverse fields of academic study, bridging the social and natural sciences and the humanities. 

Physical geographers study natural phenomena such as climates, river systems, surficial landforms, and vegetation and animals' spatial distribution. 

Human geographers study social phenomena such as the formation of cities, resource and environmental management, the location of manufacturing, urban health and the geographic distribution of cultures. 

Geographical research helps inform public debates on major issues of the day—not just to help us understand the world but to help improve it. 

The Geography Department at Nipissing University offers three undergraduate program options: 

• The BA in Geography focuses on cultural and social geography, urban studies, environmental history, and health and economic geography.
• The BA Environmental Geography focuses on examining the interconnectedness of human-environmental issues, including climate change, pollution, ecological degradation, and our resources' utilisation.
• The BSc Environment and Physical Geography is concerned with the environment and the physical landscape, including weather and climate, landforms, biogeography, hydrology and geology.

You receive a more personalised education with smaller class sizes than in larger institutions. In addition, Nipissing's faculty members will know your name.

• With ten full-time faculty members, including two Canada Research Chairs, Geography typically offers over 35 courses per year in physical geography, human geography and spatial analysis.
• Geography students in the BA or BSc programs can earn Certificates in Environmental Management or Geomatics by completing applied courses in these areas of specialisation.
• Nipissing offers students the opportunity to gain research experience through individualised study courses or senior thesis. There is also a new professional internship course.
