Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science and Master of Science in GIScience and Geoenvironment

Geographic Information Science (GIS) is the study of spatial data and computer techniques used to capture, analyze, and display geographic information. Every undergraduate student is expected to acquire GIS skills in order to model scientifically the geospatial world and its components using GIS in a space-time framework. Our students are exposed to three perspectives of GIS learning: theoretical understanding, skill development, and real-world problem solving. Through hands-on training and practical applications, the students develop proficiency in using GIS techniques to address real-world problems, project design, implementation, and reporting. Our students may pursue an option in either Geospatial Science (Geographic Information Systems, Remote Sensing, and GPS) or Geoenvironment and Planning (physicalenvironment, human, urban planning, and regional planning).

An integrated baccalaureate and master's degree program is available for the Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science or the Bachelor of Science in Meteorology: Master of Science in GIScience and Geoenvironment. An integrated degree program provides the opportunity for outstanding undergraduates to earn both degrees in five years.
