Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Geographic Information Science

Geographic Information Science (GISci or GIScience) is the academic theory behind the development, use, and application of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, data visualization, global positioning systems, spatial analysis, and quantitative methods. The purpose for this graduate certificate in GIScience is to provide students with a solid foundation in GIScience and enable the students to explore application areas that utilize this technology. The curriculum is a mixture of core courses that teach the fundamental theory and application of geospatial technology and electives that cover the vast range of this burgeoning technology in disciplines such as computer programming, field methods including GPS technology and spatial analysis, environmental and ecological applications, geological applications in oceanography, coastal and upland environments, and quantitative analysis and database management. The graduate certificate in GIScience is intended to provide a mixture of theory and practical knowledge. The GIS certificate is designed to serve: 1) students who wish to acquire technical expertise to support knowledge gained in other graduate programs and 2) returning students who wish to acquire expertise to further their current and/or future job requirements. At the end of the program, students will employ a balanced combination of theory of spatial concepts and practical application of GIScience techniques to spatial problems in their own field of study.
