Geographic Information Science (GIS) 本科 Certificate
证书代码CTGISU
教师联系: Dr. Gaurav Sinha
项目概述
The ability to think spatially, 解释地图, and creatively use geospatial technologies is a fundamental skill expected in a wide variety of careers today. Maps and mapping technologies also underlie a significant proportion of everyday decision-making. Acquiring such skills requires formal training in many topics related to the interdisciplinary field of Geographic Information Science (GIScience). The Certificate in GIScience is designed for students to complement their major with knowledge of mapping and geospatial technologies. The curriculum ensures a balanced background in the three core areas of GIScience:
- Theoretical foundations of mapping and geospatial analysis
- Use of geospatial technologies for creating, mapping, and analyzing geographic information
- General computational and information analysis skills.
The certificate is open to all undergraduates except those enrolled in the GIScience major.
