Geography is a vibrant, diverse, and welcoming department at SFU.  As a discipline, Geography is multidisciplinary.  It is a Social Science, focussing on the spatial dimensions of human societies (this is known as Human Geography).  It is a Physical Science, investigating the earth's biogeophysical environments (known as Earth System Dynamics).  And Geography is also an Information Science, mapping, modelling, and analyzing evermore complex interactions among the human and natural environments (i.e., Spatial Information Science).

Our department was a founding member of the University in 1965 and has since become one of the strongest Geography departments in North America. We are ranked 4^th among all Geography departments in Canada by the and 1^st among Canadian comprehensive universities in the .   

A hallmark of our programs is the rich diversity of experiential learning opportunities available to students in the form of tutorials, labs, community collaborations, co-op, field trips and study abroad.
