PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
The GIS Certificate Program provides students with broad exposure to principles and applications of GIS. A student who has earned the Certificate in GIS will be well-versed in general GIS theory and will have knowledge and/or practical exposure to the following:
1) hardware and software used in GIS,
2) planning and construction of spatial databases,
3) GIS analyses (performed on data related to the student's area of interest), and
4) generation of professional-quality end products
Upon completion of the certificate, students will also have a working knowledge of general geographic foundations upon which GIS is based. The program is designed to allow a high degree of flexibility, allowing for personal interests and backgrounds, while providing a powerful and marketable set of skills that can be used in contemporary work settings. Through elective courses, students can focus on one of several areas of specialization at both an applied and a technical level.
A Certificate is awarded upon successful completion of the 45-credit, 3-quarter program. Although many of the courses in the certificate program are transferable to baccalaureate institutions, pursuit of the GIS certificate does not lead to a transferable degree.
