The Program focuses on...

• Extended training in the areas of Geographic Information Systems, Cartography and Remote Sensing in order to complement a major field of study.
• Students learn the latest developments in data collection and analysis techniques, aerial and space cameras and sensors, photographic materials and reproductive processes, and mapping procedures, including computer mapping.
• Successful completion of the Certificate Program requires the student to carry a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 for undergraduates and 3.0 for graduates in these five courses.

The Program focuses on...

• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• GEO 447/647 Introduction to GIS  (5 credits)
• GEO 448/648 Advanced GIS  (5 credits)

• Remote Sensing
• GEO 381/681 Remote Sensing  (4 credits)
• GEO 382/682 Remote Sensing of the Environment  (4 credits)

• Cartography and Visualization
• GEO 365/665 Cartography  (5 credits)

Upon completion of the five required courses, students must present a portfolio of what the student considers to be the best of his/her projects and research reports. The portfolio includes scholastic achievements in the cartography, geographic information systems, and remote sensing courses. Three faculty will review the portfolio.
