Description
The Undergraduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science (GISc) integrates technologies such as Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), various associated techniques, and programing. The program introduces foundational concepts and basic principles of geospatial information collection, management, and analysis. The certificate ensures that students have sufficient theoretical understanding of geospatial science, and are able to apply the techniques to analyze real world issues. The project-based approach and hands-on activities that heavily utilizes ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine software provide necessary skills to be successful in this field. The certificate program offered by the Department of Geography provides background and training that enable students to enter careers in the public or private sectors, and to prepare them for graduate study in geospatial sciences.
