Online Arts Geography Degree :: Accredited Universities

Geography explores the relationships between people, places and environments.

As our worlds have become increasingly interconnected, fast-paced and more complex due to technological and social change; symptoms of this speed and complexity include disconnectivity, restrictions on mobility and competition for resources. This makes Geography more relevant than ever.

You will learn how to integrate various perspectives in social research and natural science to identify practical solutions to issues surrounding: population growth; food security; migration; natural hazards; climate change; global cities; sustainable development; health and wellbeing; power and place; and, the emerging creative economies.

Geography is offered as part of the Bachelor of Arts. You can enhance your studies with a secondary major or choose from a range of elective units to support your career goals.

When coupled with Economics you can complete this major as part of our Bachelor of Arts or our Bachelor of Commerce. Your choice will determine your core units.

You can also study this major as part of a Science and Arts double degree.

Geography investigates the physical and social environments we inhabit, and their interaction at global, regional, and local levels. It is based on the idea that although all social and natural activities are set in one place, they are interconnected to other places. Geography involves understanding the processes shaping the changing relationships between people and Earth.

This major offers many exciting possibilities, especially when examining New Zealand's own unique geographical makeup.

This degree program provides students with a broad education in arts, with specialization in two subjects. Students may complete the program with a concentration in arts (English, fine arts, geography, history, psychology or sociology) or in a combination of a business administration (including economics) and/or science. Students are required to complete 15 upper-level credits in each of their two areas of concentration. TRU-OL offers many courses that fulfill the degree requirements, although students may have to take courses at other institutions to meet the requirements of some concentrations. Students may be required to complete additional courses before being eligible for graduate programs in their subjects of specialization.

Entry Requirements

• Applicants to specific programs are required to fulfill program admission requirements.
• Upon reading suggested or required course requisites, applicants registering in Open Learning courses must determine if their level of education or experience is suitable to meet course prerequisites and be prepared to support this declaration, if required. Once registered, students are affirming they either meet course prerequisites or are taking responsibility for their enrolment in courses, as applicable. In doing so, students are acknowledging personal responsibility for their educational proficiency and performance in the courses they have enrolled in.
