Add a Certificate in Certificate in Geographic Information Science
The School of Earth, Environment, and Sustainability offers an undergraduate certificate in Geographic Information Science (GIScience). Certificates enhance and enrich undergraduate academic programs and broaden students' opportunities for post-graduation employment or graduate studies. Certificates are interdisciplinary and draw on courses offered by multiple departments to craft a broad foundation on a particular subject.
Students completing the Certificate in Geographic Information Science will be able to understand how:
- Geographic patterns and processes are captured and represented using computer technologies
- Spatial analytical methods are used to address challenges associated with the study and management of urban, natural, and agricultural systems
- Geospatial technologies (e.g., geographic information and remote sensing systems) can be used to conduct spatial analyses. Geovisualization is used to communicate the results of spatial analyses
- To work on collaborative project teams and address complicated geographic issues
This certificate will help you learn how to use GIScience properly to address problems such as improved transportation systems, better water quality, or more productive companies.
