Careers in Geography
and Environment
Graduates of Geography and the Environment will
have a variety of career opportunities afforded by their education.
Among these are work with provincial, federal and international
government agencies, non-government environmental and community-based
organizations, and environmental consulting companies. As
well, many businesses now incorporate environmental management
and planning in their operations and will hire pragmatic-thinking
graduates with environmental backgrounds.
Many of our graduates have pursued further education
at the graduate and professional-school level. They found
their education especially well recognized by schools of planning,
geography, environmental studies, forestry, geographic information
systems, business, education, public administration, and law.
Some sample careers include:
• Environmental Planners
• Urban and Regional Planners
• Museologists
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS) specialist
• Secondary and post-secondary teacher
• Environmental Law specialists
• Policy Researcher
• International Development worker
