Geography Career Opportunities

As we get information about potential employment (part-time and full-time) we will post them here.  Make it a habit to regularly check this page. 

You may get contact names and phone numbers from that directory of planning agencies in Oregon-at the state, regional, and local levels-and contact them to inquire about internships and jobs.

Also, check with the university's resources at the Career Services

Here is an overview of careers that a geography major can pursue.

The following are links to info on jobs and internships; your suggestions are welcome.

• Announcements at the Oregon chapter of the American Planning Association
• Listing at GeoJobSource
• Listing at the GIS Jobs Clearinghouse
• Oregon state government listing of jobs and internships
• Resource list maintained at UO's Environmental Studies Program
• Internships resources listed at the geography department at Portland State U.
