College of Leadership and Public Service

Geography (GEO)
As a bridge between the social and the physical sciences, geography is the study of how and why things are distributed over the earth.  It is a synthesizing and integrating discipline that reflects traditional concerns with the spatial distribution of human, natural and man-made resources.  In particular, geography at Dakota Wesleyan University focuses on locational relationships and their influence on issues of leadership, service and stewardship.
