Description
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) manage information, conduct analysis, and produce knowledge by connecting or synthesizing data together using location as a common index. The minor in Computer Science and Geographic Information Systems (CSGIS) allows students to complete a broad-based interdisciplinary course of study of computing concepts and methods with applications in geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analysis. Students will learn the foundations of computational systems and apply that knowledge to efficiently visualize, manage, and analyze geographic data.
