地理文学学士学位

地理专业设在人类学系。通过课程工作和实习机会，为专业提供地理思维的广泛背景。该专业强调了传统的地理重点，即在快速的全球变化时代理解人类与环境之间的动态相互作用。批判性地研究了空间，地方，人与建筑环境和自然环境之间存在的各种关系，以揭示和解释地理特征和过程的时空分布。
The Geography major is housed in the Department of Anthropology and Geography. Through coursework 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.<br><br>The Geography curriculum also concentrates specifically on mountain ecosystems and human-environment interactions. Coursework 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:<br><br>Climate change implications for society and ecosystems<br>Land-use and land-cover change<br>Critical human geography<br>Critical Health geographies<br>Biogeography<br>Livelihood systems
