PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS: Students must successfully complete the following courses to be eligible to receive the Graduate
Certificate in GIScience. A maximum of 6 transfer credit hours may be used to meet program requirements. Students must earn a
minimum GPA of 3.33 in the Geospatial Core to qualify for the Graduate Certificate in GIScience.
I. PREREQUISITES: Prerequisite preparation in three general
areas provides essential background for participation in the certificate program. Courses may be waived in consultation with
the certificate coordinator and academic advisor if the student
can demonstrate satisfactory completion of previous coursework
or significant professional experience in the area.
II. GEOSPATIAL CORE: Three core geospatial technique
courses expose students to the conceptual framework of GIScience and methods of data capture, storage, retrieval, modeling,
and digital map display of biophysical and/or cultural geographic
phenomena. Students are required to earn a minimum GPA of
3.33 in the following core courses:
______ Cartography, Thematic Mapping, or Geodesy
(e.g., GEOG 302)
