Geography Program
The Department of Geography was established in 1945 and currently has over 50 graduate students and 75 undergraduate majors. We are housed in the W. M. Keck Geosciences Center located in Boettcher Center West. Our facilities and equipment are state of the art. The department maintains three geographic information systems laboratories, a GPS base station, a computer cartography laboratory, a USDA approved soil/sediment laboratory, a weather and climate laboratory with real-time weather data reception capabilities, a remote sensing laboratory, and equipment to support the field components of classes and research. Instructional facilities include multimedia teaching classrooms, national and international field trips, and the Mt. Evans Alpine Research station just 45 minutes from campus for the study of mountain environments.
We are located in the southern part of the city of Denver, just south of I-25, close to the intersection of University Boulevard and East Iliff Ave. (see map). The department is located in Boettcher West of the Boettcher Center (see detailed campus map). Please come and visit us if you are in the Denver metro area.
