Geographic Information Science - Master of Science

The Master of Science in Geographic Information Science is a Plan B (non-thesis) degree that places emphasis on applications of analytical techniques in the field of geography. Students are trained in advanced technologies such as remote sensing, geographic information systems, cartography, and spatial analysis. The degree is aimed toward professionals who want to acquire expertise in research techniques, but who may not wish to pursue a Doctor of Philosophy degree. This program is appropriate for persons with interest, but not necessarily strong training, in the geographical sciences.
