Because Applied Geomatics is a joint offering between Acadia University and NSCC, you will benefit from the strengths of both schools – research and application of geomatics tools and infrastructure. This program also allows you to follow a path most suited to your interests – you can focus on an applied research project or an in-depth research project culminating in a thesis, and you can also explore in greater depth topics in environmental, biological, or geological issues, and with a specialization in GIS, Remote Sensing, or Marine Geomatics.
