Bachelor of Arts - Anthropology - Geography

Geography at CSU focuses on providing undergraduate students with a broad background in geographic thinking with an emphasis on the traditional geographic focus of understanding dynamic interaction between humans and the environment in an era of rapid global change. Faculty use a wide range of research methods including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, spatial modeling, and dendrochronology to address applied research questions in Colorado, the Rocky Mountains, Southeast Asia, Mesoamerica, Melanesia, and southern South America. Research focus areas include:

A concentration and minor in Geography are degree options within the Department of Anthropology. Current courses offered range from introductory courses that introduce students to geography and the two main branches of cultural and physical geography, to advanced courses which focus on methods (e.g. spatial analysis and GIS, remote sensing) and topical subjects such as climate change, forest ecology, mountain geography, the geography of commodities, and land change science.
