The Department of Geography celebrated 50 years of teaching and research at UVM in 2016-2017. For five decades the department has developed a scholarly profile in the College of Arts and Sciences and the University, highlighting spatialized thinking about social and natural environments, from local to global scales of analysis.
The study of geography at the university level equips students with many of the same analytical and conceptual skills as other liberal arts disciplines, but UVM's emphasis on understanding the spatial dimensions of both physical and human phenomena is unique. Further, the study of Geography trains students to appreciate the importance of a broad, international, interdisciplinary and comparative perspective. B.A. with major in Geography provides students with technical skills, a focus on environment and society, and local-regional-global interpretive capacity that is increasingly important for an informed citizenry
