About Geography at UB

Geography is primarily concerned with the locations and arrangements in space of human and natural phenomena, and with the interrelationships between people and their spatial environments.

Geographers, therefore, are interested in such topics as the location of industry and business, urban growth and development, regional planning and policy study, physical and ecological environments, interactions of people and places over space and time, and the diffusion of information, commodities, and ideas. Students may choose concentrations in Geographic Information Systems and Cartography, International Business and World Trade, Physical and Environmental Systems, or Urban and Regional Analysis.
