The outcome of this emphasis area is an individual trained in the skills required for solving common applications of remote sensing 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) specialized remote sensing analysis skills, not available through the Applied GIS emphasis, obtained through advanced remote sensing 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.
