《高等教育地理学杂志》(JGHE)的创办基于这样一种信念，即学习和教学的发展对高等教育至关重要。它致力于促进、加强和分享全球所有高等教育机构的地理学习和教学，并为地理学家和其他专业人士提供一个论坛，讨论共同的教育兴趣，展示教育研究成果，倡导新思想。
The Journal of Geography in Higher Education ( JGHE) was founded upon the conviction that the development of learning and teaching was vitally important to higher education. It is committed to promote, enhance and share geography learning and teaching in all institutions of higher education throughout the world, and provides a forum for geographers and others, regardless of their specialisms, to discuss common educational interests, to present the results of educational research, and to advocate new ideas.
