Geography at Middlebury is an interdisciplinary field of study that explores virtually all aspects of life on earth. The Geography Department at Middlebury focuses on human geography. We provide our majors with a strong foundation in geographic concepts and theory, substantive knowledge of human geography, and extensive training in geospatial methods including GIS and cartography, among other technology skills. Contemporary geography is a far cry from the rote learning of capitals, rivers, and mountains you might have experienced in grade school—geography analyzes real-world problems. We investigate how and why phenomena vary across space and produce particular landscapes, how the geographical setting shapes outcomes, and how local, regional, and global processes are implicated. Geography helps draw connections between human activity and the natural world, paying particular attention to different scales, and is fundamentally interdisciplinary. Show less
