Welcome to the Geography and Environmental Sciences Department at CU Denver. Located in downtown's vibrant core, our department extends beyond classrooms and labs—though we take great pride in our cutting-edge Facility for Advanced Spatial Technology (FAST) and Geospatial Analysis and Mapping (GAM) Labs. The GES program serves as a gateway to exploring our planet's dynamic systems, a center for scholarly achievement, and a space for environmentally aware explorers. Our Geography program provides a BA degree featuring comprehensive coursework in geographical fundamentals, primarily instructed by dedicated faculty. Please note that degree requirements may be updated periodically by the department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences may approve adjustments when warranted. Students are encouraged to meet regularly with their major and CLAS advisors to ensure their academic plans remain current and appropriate.
