Geography Department
 Geography provides an organized view of the earth as a whole and of its regions and human activities. Geography serves as a bridge between the natural and social sciences by studying the interrelationships between the earth's physical and biological systems, and how these environmental systems provide a natural resource base for human societies. Geographers are interested in the patterns of human settlement; natural resource distribution, use, and conservation; and the sense of place among the peoples of the world. Geographic methodologies include observation, measurement, description, and analysis of places or areas, including their likenesses, differences, interdependence and importance.
At UAF, students may enter one of two geography degree programs: the B.A. degree in geography, or the B.S. degree in environmental studies. Students may elect advanced study in geography, or related disciplines, that will provide a concentration in either physical or social science.
