Do you want to learn to collect and analyze real-time geospatial data to help solve environmental problems? Are you already using geospatial data in your graduate degree and would like to take your skills further? A graduate certificate in Geographic Information Science can supplement any other graduate degree, or be done standalone, providing marketable skills in remote sensing, geospatial data collection and analysis, modeling, use of machine learning and geovisualization. Your GIScience graduate certificate, consisting of 19 credit hours, will help you combine theory and principles underlying geospatial data collection; technologies to manage, analyze, and visualize geospatial data; computational, statistical, and mathematical methods; and social and environmental implications of GIScience. Your GIScience certificate will pave the way to careers in academia, government, industry and beyond.
