The Dartmouth Geography curriculum blends social science, physical science, and spatial analysis to understand our world at local, regional, and global scales. You’ll think critically about traditional medicine in a village in southern Africa, analyze the distance of vulnerable populations to emergency medical services, and explore the atmospheric circulation patterns that shape weather around the world. This diversity in topics and methods is reflected in our graduates’ careers. Dartmouth Geography graduates can be found across the workforce, including business (e.g., environmental consulting, geospatial analytics, sustainability management, finance, marketing), nonprofit (e.g., healthcare advocacy, human rights and social justice, international development, public policy and housing), government (e.g., GIS and spatial science, emergency management, urban planning, foreign policy), and academia (e.g., teaching, research, community outreach, administration). A few examples of what our amazing alumni are up to can be found here:
