B.A. in Geography

Colorado State University

Geography is the study of the spatial distribution of the Earth’s physical features and human societies, and how humans and the environment interact around the world. Geography students at CSU gain a background in spatial thinking in order to address the causes and impacts of environmental and social change around the world. Students learn about the diversity and evolution of human interactions with the environment across space, between places and over time, and to interpret physical and social geographic patterns and processes. Geography curriculum and coursework take advantage of faculty expertise in various areas of study, some 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.
