Bachelor of Arts - Environmental Geography (PA)

Geography is the interdisciplinary study of our world, its physical characteristics like water, landforms, vegetation and climate as well as the relationships between people and the environment. The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Geography concentrates on the causes and effects of various environmental issues. Like the BA in Geography, it studies social, cultural, political, and economic geography, but has more focus on examining the causes and effects of various environment issues, including ecological degradation, climate change, pollution, and the utilization of our natural resources.
