The Geography Program at the University of West Georgia consists of a dedicated group of faculty and students united in their passion for understanding the “why of where." Doing geography means making sense of complex realities through critical thinking, field-based studies, and geospatial data analysis.

In an interconnected world where interactions between natural and social systems are shaping the challenges and solutions of the 21st century, there is a need for geography. At the University of West Georgia, Geography features a high caliber faculty who work together with a tight knit community of students to make connections, problem-solve, and apply geographic knowledge to better understand and address the challenges confronting our world, from the local to the global. Regardless of your particular interests, background, or skills, the Geography faculty at UWG welcomes you to our program. We are committed to the geographic spirit of building bridges across worlds.
