  Associate of Arts Degree in Geography  
  Geography is the study of the spatial distributions and space relations within the human-environment system composing the surface of the earth.  
  Careers in Geography  
  The Geography major prepares one for positions in business, government, service in foreign areas and teaching at the elementary, secondary, and college levels. Course work in Geography that includes Geographic Information Systems (GIS) prepares students for a wide range of jobs that employ computers to gather, manipulate, analyze and report spatial data. There is a rapid growth in the use of GIS in natural resource management, urban planning, marketing, real estate, criminology, emergency services, public health, scientific research and many other areas.
