The UW-Madison Department of Geography is a leader in the field of geography and offers exceptional opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate education. The Department has been consistently rated as one of the best in the country, currently rated as the number two graduate program, and for over 100 years has been the training ground for generations of geographers.

The strength of our department is reflected in our ability to attract top-caliber students, compete for significant research funding, and win major awards, including more Guggenheim Fellowships than any other geography department. Our faculty have been recognized both by the university and within our profession with such honors as UW named chairs, and Association of American Geographers lifetime achievement awards.
