Earth location points are given in Degrees Longitude and Degrees Latitude
Traditionally they are expressed in Degrees, minutes, seconds,
1 degree = 60 minutes
1 minute = 60 seconds
>
Conversion Example:
15 Degrees 25 minutes = 15 + 25/60 degrees
= 15.4167 degrees (decimal)
15 degrees 25 minutes 10 seconds = 15 + 25/60 + 10/3600 degrees
= 15.4194 degrees (decimal)

No, geography is not art , it is science.
Systematic geography is concerned with individual physical and cultural elements of the earth. Systematic geography includes physical geography and cultural geography. These classifications are made up of specialized fields that deal with specific aspects of geography. Systematic geography is concerned with the formulation of general laws and principles and is divided into two branches: physical geography and human geography. Each of these branches is subdivided into several specialist fields. This section describes briefly the main branches of contemporary systematic geography and their respective subdisciplines. The methodologies they employ and their historical development are outlined in the sections that follow. More detailed discussion of these areas and of the current concerns and future trends within systematic geography can be found in the Physical Geography and Human Geography articles. The main subdisciplines of systematic geography also have their own articles.

Degrees in geography are used to determine coordinates. It will refer to a unit of latitude or longitude, divided into 60 minutes, and it is used to define points on the earth's surface or on the celestial sphere.
You can get a Bachelor of Science in Geography, a Master of Arts or a Master of Science, or a PhD (Doctorate) degree. Post graduate degrees can be in a specific region (regional geographer) or in a specialized area such as medical, economic, political, historical or cultural geography (systematic geography). You can also specialize in Cartography or map making. If your question refers to "degrees" as in longitude and latitude, degrees are the largest designation followed by minutes and seconds.
The other geography is called Human Geography, the study of humans and their interaction with the land. It includes the subcategory of cultural geography. Human geography is also called Social geography.
