The Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology (IFs) emerged with the reorganization of the Federal Network of Vocational and Technological Education in Brazil in 2008. They have an obligation to have 20% of their admissions available for teacher training. One of the intended aspects is the internalization of degree courses, helping to eliminate the national shortage in this area. Therefore, this work raised the scenario of degrees in Geography in Brazilian IFs, understanding the dynamics of interiorization of higher education, the emergence of courses and their motivations. The methodology adopted was the collection of data through a bibliographic review, on the websites of the institutions and in the pedagogical projects of courses (PPCs), with a period ending in 2020. Tables of emergence, justifications and a mapping were prepared through free software QGIS. It is concluded that the degrees in Geography in the IFs remained mostly in the range of traditional occupation of the territory, especially in the Northeast and Southeast regions. The states of Pará and Rondônia are the main points of regional interiorization. With the exception of the Federal District, the Center-West did not have the course in question in the IFs, accompanied by the South region. From the state perspective, Rondônia and Ceará are the ones that show the greatest spatial distribution of the courses. It is also verified that the degree in Geography in the IFs is a recent event, mostly manifested in the last phase of the expansion of the institutions, having as central arguments the lack of qualified professionals in the regions covered by the different units, the shortage of teachers in the Brazil and behaving as a complementarity.
