Program overview
Geography
is no longer a dry, traditional science as it was in past centuries,
but has become a vital science that relies mainly on a set of
information technologies with a spatial dimension, and geographic
information systems and remote sensing are one of the most important of
these technologies that are widely used all over the world. The proposed
program will focus mainly on these technologies in addition to
addressing other technologies related to the program such as remote
sensing and geographic positioning systems. Therefore, the need arises
to move the science of geography from the theoretical space to the
applied space to serve the development of contemporary societies, hence
the idea of establishing Applied Geography Program in the College of
Arts and Humanities at Al al-Bayt University
