Why Study Geography at UND?

Geography is the science of place and space. As a geography student at UND, you'll use technology and scientific reasoning to study locations, the differences between places and how people interact with the environment.

Geography majors at UND choose an area of focus from three options:

  • Community and urban development
  • Environmental geography
  • Geographic education

UND also offers a minor in Geospatial Technologies to prepare you for a variety of careers that rely on tools such as GIS, remote sensing and global positioning systems (GPS).

Whichever program you choose, you'll study geospatial technologies related to human geography, physical geography and geographic education — and help solve problems in the world today.
