In order to analyze the spatial pattern of higher education in geography science in China, the data of geographic science colleges and universities and the total population and GDP of each region were established in 2007, 2011 and 2016, based on ArcGIS 10.3 spatial analysis and formulas such as extreme value ratio, discrete coefficient, geographic concentration index and related analysis methods. The research shows that the gap in the scale of inter-provincial development of geography science majors in China is gradually increasing, but the distribution imbalance of institutions is gradually decreasing. The spatial pattern is formed by the combination of topography, population, economy, and policy. There are still some problems today. Finally, the countermeasures and suggestions for promoting the rational development of the spatial pattern of higher education in geography science are put forward.
