We offer GIS/Remote Sensing Certificates at both
undergraduate and graduate level:
GIS Certificates for Undergraduates
The Department of Geosciences offers undergraduates a
Certificate in Geographic
Information Systems
and an Advanced Certificate
in Geographic Information Systems.
Departmental majors or other students who
complete the programs with a grade of "C" or
better in each course are entitled to the GIS
Certificates. Students should consult with their
departmental advisor or another faculty member
about registration for these programs. Students
may use these courses in the completion of a
major.
