地理信息系统（GIS）的学士学位课程使学生能够完成广泛的跨学科学习课程，并在地理和地理信息系统，相关应用程序和方法，数学和统计学，自然科学以及从整个课程中选择相关的选修课。
The BS in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is better suited for students with a mind for processing data. It offers technical-oriented, professional-grade training in GIS and geospatial technologies, and requires significant math, statistics, and natural science coursework. Unlike the major in geography, the GIS degree requires a minor or a second major in an area outside geography. Some popular choices among our GIS students include civil engineering, biology, journalism, and political science.<br><br>Geographers analyze transportation patterns to determine the best way to design roads and transit systems. They work with public health agencies to look at the societal factors that contribute to the spread of disease. They partner with emergency management officials to develop the plans and routes that help evacuate regions before catastrophic events and quickly restore critical services and supplies in the aftermath.<br><br>In short, studying geography and GIS trains you to solve complex problems, and the skills you develop can be translated to virtually every field and industry.
