Objectives
The outcome
of this emphasis area is an individual trained in the skills required for
solving common applications of GIS and related geocomputational techniques.
This certificate combines skills and knowledge of three domains: i) substantive
geography and basic geospatial analytical techniques from the undergraduate
degree in geography; ii) GIS skills obtained through advanced GIS coursework,
and; iii) basic software skills for solving computational problems in science
and engineering.
Entrance
requirements
Students entering
this emphasis area must: i) be an undergraduate non-computer science major
in good standing or a non-matriculated student with special permission
and ii) receive approval from the GIS Certificate Program Committee.
NOTE: Some
courses in the certificate program may have additional prerequisites or
co-requisities. Be sure to check the university's course catalog.
