New courses: GEOG 264-3 and GEOG 3.11-4 

GEOG 264, Canadian Cities, will expand the Department's offerings

be attractive to Canadian Studies students, and to those students. 

completing GEOG 100 and GEOG 162. 

GEOG 311, Hydrology, is 

.

a reintroduction of a course that was 

dropped one year 1        ago because of limited faculty resources. The 

Dcpur1inezt. hw now hired a new faculty member, Dan Moore, and the 

course reflects his teaching and research interests. 

Course Revisions: GEOG 261, GEOG 325, and GEOG 362 

GEOG 261, .Introduction to Urban Geography, is a revision of GEOG 

361. As an intr 1

where it can act .       as a prerequisite for urban studies courses that 

follow at the 300 and 400 level. 

GEOG 325, Geogr.aphy of Service Activities. The 

change

in

prerequisite reflects the move of GEOG 361 to 261, GEOG 261 serves 

to prepare students for GEOG 325 and can be an alternative 

prerequisite to 3EOG 221. 

GEOG 362, Geography of Urban Development. The change in
