Geospatial Technology, Certificate


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Graduate Programs

The Geospatial Technology certificate program is designed to provide students with a theoretical base in geospatial technology, a basis for research design in geospatial technology, and the opportunity to apply geospatial technology theory and research design to their field of study. Because this is an interdisciplinary program, students may opt for a sequence of courses that will be somewhat focused on either the natural or the social sciences, depending on their disciplinary orientation.  The focus of the program is GIS, remote sensing, and GPS and their applications to research design and problem-solving in the natural and social sciences.
