Geography also has a long-standing field tradition, often involving travel to spectacular locations. The University of Utah?s Geography program will provide you with a collaborative, integrated approach to understanding complex geographical challenges, such as climate change, globalization, sustainability, urbanization, and living with hazards. The program curriculum includes courses in environments, human geography, geographical analysis, cartography, and GIS; students then choose courses from the broader areas of physical and human geography, as well as electives from allied fields (such as atmospheric sciences or geology).

The Student Experience

For academic enrichment and the chance to network, students can complete an undergraduate research project or internship: both options allow you to pursue an individual area of interest while also gaining valuable hands-on and professional skills. Additional involvement opportunities include the Geography Club or the Geography Undergraduate Student Advisory Committee.
