Students in the MAT program come from a wide variety of backgrounds. For those of you who know me you have probably heard me mention my undergraduate degree is in Geography. Geography is one of those degrees that sometimes people don't like to mention. This is due to the misconception people have about what Geography is. A vast majority of people hear Geography and cringe because they recall memorizing capitals and states or filling out boring worksheets. Geography is so much more! It is a subject that is so wide it includes nearly everything you could possibly study. I found this really great video that a teacher could use to show students why Geography is so important. Oh and just because someone is a Geographer doesn't mean they don't get lost. It more probable than not they will see a rock formation on the side of the road, jump out, lose track of time and end up in Canada. Geography rocks!
