The University
Established in 1791, the University of Vermont is considered a
public-ivy and consistently ranked as one of the top public
universities in the United States. Our academic programs combine
faculty-student relationships most commonly found in a small liberal
arts college with the resources of a land-grant research institution.
UVM’s tradition of equity and social justice extends not only to
faculty, staff, and students, but also is reflected in a commitment to
environmentally sound and sustainable practices.
The College
In the College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), students experience the
connectedness and accessibility of a small liberal arts college within
a high caliber public research institution. Whether students are
pursuing the Fine Arts, the Humanities, Natural Science and
Mathematics or Social Sciences, they have a place here, in the College
of Arts and Sciences’ academic ecosystem. The College of Arts and
Sciences highly values the excellence that results when people from
different backgrounds and perspectives work, interact, and learn
together. In this way, commitment to diversity fosters our educational
mission. For our students, it prepares them for life and work ahead:
it recognizes that we are a culturally, ethnically, and racially
diverse nation, one that is also situated in an increasingly global
environment. For our faculty, scholarship and research are
increasingly cooperative activities-often crossing national
borders-requiring the abilities and skills to work with others often
from very different backgrounds. For both our students and faculty,
diversity enhances our curriculum, enriches the classroom experience,
and fosters the exchange of ideas. As our society, economy, politics,
and global interactions become increasingly diverse, so too must our
intellectual community of students, faculty, and staff.
The Department The Department of Geography and Geosciences (GEO)
currently offers undergraduate degrees in Geography (BA), an
independently designed major in Geosciences (BA), and a Master’s
degree in Geology. Our department includes 15 faculty members.
Specialty areas of teaching and research include urban and rural
geography, human migration, human-environment interactions, political
ecology, geo-humanities, qualitative research methods, geospatial
technologies, natural hazards, water resources, climate change,
structural geology, tectonics, petrology, environmental geochemistry,
minerology, contaminants, and medical geology. Our faculty are also
affiliated with degree programs in Environmental Sciences;
Environmental Studies; Global and Regional Studies; Gender, Women and
Sexuality Studies; Geospatial Technologies, Classics; Food Systems;
and the Leahy Honors College.
The Community
