Located
in Valparaiso, Indiana near the southern tip of Lake Michigan, our
department at VU is home to the interrelated disciplines of Geography,
Meteorology, and Geoscience.
We are also home to Geology, American
Indian Studies, and participate in the Urban
Studies program. Our students receive rigorous instruction in
the classroom, participate in exciting student
organizations, and gain hands-on experience through field
experiences and internships.
Students might find themselves chasing
down a storm in the corn fields of Iowa, hiking
up a mountain in Yellowstone, or looking out on Lake Michigan
from the top of a dune in
the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore.
