Did you know?

• GIS (geographic information systems) is one of the hottest technologies in the world today. Many jobs are available for GIS specialists.
• Geography is multidisciplinary. It is the discipline balanced between the humanities and sciences. Geographers need to understand both worlds in order to be proficient.
• Earth sciences include the study of geology, soil science, oceanography and hydrology. Excellent subjects for the teacher of tomorrow to know.

Faculty are dedicated to giving their students the best that EMU can offer in technology and experience. Come to Eastern and see what we have to offer.
