GTU's goals are:
- To further professional interest in geography by affording a common organization for those interested in the field
- To strengthen student and professional training through academic experiences in addition to those of the classroom and laboratory
- To advance the status of geography as a cultural and practical discipline for study and investigation
- To encourage student research of high quality and to promote an outlet for publication
