This certificate is available to all OSU undergraduate students in good standing, regardless of whether they are pursuing their first degree or have already earned a college degree (post-baccalaureate). Students in any major or degree program can complete the GIScience Certificate. To discuss or declare the certificate, make an appointment with a CEOAS advisor.
Non-OSU students interested in pursuing the certificate should apply to OSU via the standard undergraduate admissions process.
This certificate is also available to post-baccalaureate students. If you have already earned an undergraduate degree and would like to pursue the certificate:
- For admittance, we usually look for a strong statement of purpose on the application and completion of at least college algebra. Additional admittance consideration is given to other math and science coursework that helps demonstrate potential future success in our programs.
- Apply to OSU as a Post-Baccalaureate student through the main admissions website.
- Work with Erin Heim to determine how your prior coursework will apply to the certificate.
