About Bachelor of Science - Geography
The Geography major is housed in the Department of Anthropology and Geography. Through course work and internship opportunities, majors are provided with a broad background in geographic thinking. The major emphasizes interactions between humans and the environment in an era of rapid global change. Critical study of diverse relationships between space, place, humans, built and natural environments allows students to interpret geographic features, patterns and processes.
The Geography curriculum also concentrates specifically on mountain ecosystems and human-environment interactions. Course work takes advantage of faculty expertise in these areas of study, some of which are specific to the state of Colorado. Geography faculty use a wide range of research methods, including geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, spatial modeling, spatial statistics, participatory methods, and ethnography to address applied research questions in Colorado, the Rocky Mountains, Patagonia, Southeast Asia, Latin America, Melanesia, and Africa. Undergraduate majors can expect to gain knowledge of and/or participate in faculty research related to:
- Climate change implications for society and ecosystems
- Land-use and land-cover change
- Critical human geography
- Critical Health geographies
- Biogeography
- Livelihood systems
- Conservation
- Cultural geography
- Urban geography
- Economic geography
- Political/electoral geography
- Geography of virtual worlds
The Geography major is built on the core values the Department of Anthropology and Geography promotes. These values emphasize experiential training, primary research, public engagement, and education.
