Welcome to the Department of Geography, University of Toronto Mississauga, where we invite students to learn more, first hand, about the most relevant and interesting issues facing the globe today. The discipline of geography bridges the scientific and the cultural study of the earth. Our friendly and vibrant Department offers programs in human and physical geography and the environment, appealing to a wide range of students. This diversity offers students the opportunity to explore the connection between human activity and the environment through various methods and approaches. Our Department prides itself in being at the forefront of student experience at UTM. We offer a vast array of exciting opportunities at all program levels, including practical courses, Research Opportunity Programs, internships and field courses. Our Faculty are very successful and active researchers, maintaining research programs, laboratories and graduate students at UTM. They are also outstanding teachers, with several of our faculty being recognized with teaching awards from both inside and outside the university. The staff in the Department of Geography are an integral part of the student experience at UTM, supporting technical needs and offering helpful and friendly advice on academic matters. We think that the wonderful opportunities and support in our Department will make your degree in Geography or Environment not only a meaningful and valuable learning experience, but also exciting and fun.
