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 manmade resources. In particular, geography at Dakota Wesleyan University focuses on locational relationships and their influence on issues of leadership, service and stewardship.
