Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are rapidly becoming the backbone of many government and private sector information systems. This certificate program provides training in this exciting technology, while also granting university credit which can be applied toward a graduate degree. Training is available for both novice and experienced GIS professionals. Emphasis is on socio-economic applications in government and business, but with more traditional environmental and geological applications also included.

The Certificate is jointly supported by the Programs in Public Affairs and in Geosciences. Classes are offered through the state of the art GIS facilities housed within the Bruton Center in the School of Social Sciences and the NASA Center for Excellence in Remote Sensing in the Department of Geosciences. The certification requires 15 graduate hours (5 classes) detailed below. All courses taken as part of the Certificate also count toward the Master of Science in Geographic Information Sciences degree.
