地理信息学理学硕士（MS）学位课程为高级学习和研究提供了机会，旨在使学生为在行业，政府，研究和/或学术机构中的领导作用做好准备。该计划的教育目标是培养能够应用地理空间科学和技术解决行业或学术界问题并在所选就业领域中发挥领导作用的毕业生。这是由地质科学系管理的多学科计划。它包括理学院，人文与美术学院，工程学院，公共政策学院，建筑，建筑与规划学院的教职员工和资源，以及其他学术部门的教职员工。地理信息学理学硕士学位要求至少成功完成32个学期的学分
The Master's in Geoinformatics prepares graduates who are capable of applying geospatial science and technology to solve problems in industry or academia, as well as assuming leadership roles in their chosen employment field. The cross-disciplinary nature of this program utilizes spatial data (geographic and/or remote sensing data) to solve real-life problems related to locations and changes in space and time, with wide applications in oil and gas industry, water resources and management, land use and land cover, climate change and cryosphere, archaeology, political science, urban planning and transportation, demography, public health, disaster response and relief effort, geospatial intelligence, and cyber-security.<br>Big data and cloud computing are the two new aspects of the program's collaborative research and applications, since geospatial and remote sensing data are big in nature and need advanced technology and methods for data mining, processing, storing, sharing, and distribution.
