Study your minor in Geography at King's

If you've ever stared in wonder at the mighty Rocky Mountains, explored the array of vegetation found in British Columbia or have simply wanted to know more about the world you live in, King's minor in Geography is a great fit for you. Explore the relationship between humans and the natural environment by choosing to study a Geography minor as part of your degree.

Geography seeks to understand everything from the spatial distributions of cities, industry, religions and culture to the spatial location and movement of biophysical landscapes and human features on the earth's surface. As a Geography student, you'll ask questions such as "Where is it?" "Why is it there?" "How does it relate to other locations?"
