The Geographic Information Science program provides a cost-effective educational option for 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.
Geospatial technologies are in very high demand. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing and GPS form the core of GISc. The certificate provides in-depth training allowing students to create solutions to real-world problems involving people and environment.
The master's in GISc integrates the geospatial technologies of geographic information systems, 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.
