专业概况

在这里学什么？

Geographical Information Systems (GIS) allow us to capture, manage, query, analyze and model geospatially referenced data. GIS ties the idea of location to information, making it possible to visualize it all in map form. Using geospatial techniques we combine and overlay data to show complex scenarios from a geographic perspective. GIS also allows us to integrate data from diverse sources, helping identify relationships, trends, and patterns of distribution.

Our certificate program provides students with a solid grounding in geospatial theory and techniques, combined with the practical skills to apply these techniques to real world problems. Students are exposed to a combination of industry standard software and open source programs in classes that encourage an extensive hands-on approach. We feature service learning components in our courses that increasingly incorporate the growing field of open source GIS.

The demand for geospatial science skills is exploding in today’s job market, and GIS is increasingly popular in many different disciplines and industries, such as; scientific investigation, resource management, marketing, archaeology, environmental research, urban planning, demography, development, policy, public health, emergency management, and logistics.

Certificate students have an opportunity to pick from a broad range of electives that match their interests. Our state-of-the-art Spatial Analysis Lab is available for student research and our faculty members have expertise in GIS, remote sensing and spatial analysis.

The certificate requires the completion of 12 graduate credit hours. Students take three required courses and one elective class. All students are expected to complete the program in two years (four semesters).
