    Introduction

    Where is geography? Geography can be found in careers as various as engineering, environmental science, transportation, business, marketing, and public health. A degree in geography provides excellent opportunities for students who want to enrich their knowledge and advance their technical skills in several areas in geography. Students receive hands-on experiences for real world practice. Studies included courses in Human Geography, physical Geography, Regional Geography, technique courses in Cartography, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing, and Spatial Statistics.
