| "Geography
is a Branch of Knowledge,
not only useful,
but absolutely necessary,
to every Person
of public Character
whether in civil
or military Life.
Nay it is equally
necessary for Merchants...
America is our Country,
and therefore a
minute Knowledge
of its Geography,
is most important
to Us and our Children." John Adams August 13, 1776 |

Education Geography, as a field of study, offers a unique and invaluable opportunity to provide students not only with a greater understanding of the world, but also an appreciation of the tremendous diversity and opportunity within it. Whether it is competing in the “global economy”, analyzing the “global war on terror”, or studying “global warming”, geography provides students with the knowledge-base and skills necessary to succeed.
