地理信息科学学位课程使学生能够应用计算，物理科学和数学原理（包括多元微积分和微分方程式）来设计和构建物理模型以模拟地球。我们的学生受过教育，可以通过遥感和土地勘测收集地理空间数据，然后将这些数据以及其他地理空间数据资源转换为可管理的数字地图和数据库，以进行显示和分析。地理空间行业的职业是学生探索世界并利用最新计算机技术和科学的机会。除了地理空间行业的许多职业外，所有毕业生都有资格参加培训测量师（SIT）以及最终注册专业土地测量师（RPLS）的许可考试。
The Geographic Information Science Program prepares graduates with knowledge and skills for a variety of career paths related to the acquisition, analysis, and management of geospatial data and information. Career paths include pursuing advanced degrees and employment in the fields of Geomatics and Geospatial Information Systems. The Geographic Information Science Program provides broad-based expertise and cutting-edge skills that span the growing geospatial field and helps to alleviate the shortage of well-educated geospatial professionals. The program is intended for those seeking to become surveyors, engineers and other geospatial professionals with knowledge and skills in using and managing rapidly developing geospatial technologies. <br><br>Our GIS and Geomatics curriculum covers a wide range of geospatial principles. Students engage in activities using a systematic approach to integrate all means of capturing and managing spatial data required for scientific, administrative, legal, and technical operations involved in the production and management of spatial information. These activities include, but are not limited to, cartography, control surveying, digital mapping, geodesy, geographic information systems, hydrography, land information management, land surveying, mining surveying, photogrammetry, and remote sensing. The curriculum also focuses on computer-based solutions to problems involving the collection, synthesis, analysis, and communication of spatially related information within a geographic jurisdiction or area. It meets the needs of local, state, and federal government agencies and private industries transitioning to highly automated graphics systems that integrate digital mapping with computerized databases.
