Geography deals with some of the most exciting issues on Earth. It studies the interaction between human beings and the global environment and the resulting problems and opportunities. The Department of Geography & Environment at the University of Lethbridge offers a unique multidisciplinary experience by combining the fields of archaeology, environmental science, and geography into one department.
Students have the opportunity to study in areas such as archaeology, environmental science, human geography, physical geography, remote sensing, and urban & regional studies. We also offer a concentration in geographical information science (GIS) and combined or multidisciplinary degrees. Click on the icons above for more information about our programs.
Indigenization Statement
We acknowledge that we live and work in Treaty 7, the traditional territory of the Niitsitapi, and in Métis Region 3.
We also acknowledge the role that geographical disciplines and their practitioners have played and continue to play in the dispossession and genocide of Indigenous peoples, here and around the world. With this awareness, we strive to increase our understanding and inclusion of Indigenous ways of knowing and their contributions in our departmental practices. Our department is committed to an equitable, diverse and inclusive future.

Dexter Johnson Award in Music honours young leader
In just 15 short years, Dexter Johnson left a lasting impression on countless people – classmates, bandmates and teachers. It’s said that even total strangers were touched by his kindness, warmth and playful sense of humour.
The Dexter Johnson Memorial Award will create a scholarship for students pursuing a degree in music. The fundraising goal-raising target for the fund is $25,000, which will create an endowment that will be held in perpetuity. Thanks to the Board of Governor’s $10 million match fund campaign, once the fund reaches this total, it will be matched dollar for dollar, effectively doubling the good it will do. All donations to the fund are greatly appreciated by Dexter’s family and those who knew him.
