Bachelor of Arts in Geography, Urban Studies and Planning

University of Colorado - Denver

The Geography program (within the Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences) offers a BA degree that includes a full range of courses in the fundamentals of geography taught mainly by full-time faculty. Geography and urban planning share a common concern for the spatial configuration of the places we inhabit and enjoy. In recognition of this close association, there is currently an articulation agreement between the Department of Geography and Environmental Sciences and the College of Architecture and Planning that provides students with a mechanism for acceleration through the Master of Urban and Regional Planning (MURP) degree program. Students completing the requirements for an undergraduate planning minor may also be eligible to pursue an accelerated MURP degree. Interested students should work closely with the option advisor in selecting coursework. (Please see the Graduate Catalog for more information on this graduate program). These degree requirements are subject to periodic revision by the academic department, and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences reserves the right to make exceptions and substitutions as judged necessary in individual cases. Therefore, the College strongly urges students to consult regularly with their major advisor and CLAS advisor to confirm the best plans of study before finalizing them.
