Self-Designed Concentration
Concentration: Geographic Information Science (GISci)
GISci teaches techniques for collecting and analyzing geographic information in our environment. The courses complement each other with some that provide a technical foundation and understanding and others introducing GISci concepts and providing a chance to apply them to various types of situations. Students learn how use technologies including satellite and aerial imaging, global positioning systems, and remote sensing.
The concentration provides the training and hands-on experience to solve problems in fields such as natural resources, urban planning, military and business decision-making, architecture, archaeology, law enforcement, education, health and many others. By taking one additional course, students may also earn a GIS certificate in addition to their degree.
