Master of Science in Geographic Information Science (STEM)

Program Overview

The Geographic Information Science (MS GISc) program provides a cost-effective educational option for in-state, out-of-state, and international students who are seeking a higher degree in GISc. We strive to meet the growing demand for higher-level academic preparation for GISc in geography and related disciplines. Our MS GISc program offers comprehensive courses on geographic information systems, remote sensing, GPS, spatial analysis, geospatial modeling and simulation, geodatabase, programming, web mapping, transportation analysis, and more. In addition to core courses, students also can take elective courses related to their area of interest. Students will be able to enhance their geospatial technological skills and the ability to deploy such technologies to a variety of real-world problems. The thesis, APP, and coursework-only options will allow students to complete their degrees in a flexible way. 

The Master of Science in Geographic Information System (GIS) integrates the geospatial technologies of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, and global positioning systems (GPS) with the professional skills of technical communications, project management, human resource management, and budgeting and economics in the workplace. These combine to create tools to implement real-world solutions to critical problems.
