Undergraduate GIS CertificateUndergraduate Certificate Program in Geographic Information Systems and Spatial AnalysisThis certificate program provides undergraduates with professional and technical training in geographic information systems (GIS) and associated techniques of spatial analysis. Geographic information systems are computer-based systems for storage, analysis, and display of spatial data. The disciplines of cartography, remote sensing and computer graphics are closely linked to the study of GIS. In conjunction with GIS, methods of spatial analysis may be used to study a wide range of problems, including resource management, land management for agriculture and forestry, urban planning, land use mapping, market area analysis, urban social analysis and a host of other applications. The certificate requires 20 credit hours of undergraduate course work: 20 credits of core course work, including A Gog 290, 385, 414, 485, 496, and A Mat 108 (or an approved equivalent).
