Geographic Information Science M.G.I.S.

The professional master of geographic information science (MGIS), administered by the Department of Geography, provides graduate-level work in the theory, applications, and technology of geographic information science (GIS). Courses for the program are divided into three broad categories. Core courses provide the conceptual and theoretical underpinnings for a comprehensive, well-rounded knowledge of GIS; a set of technology courses focuses on specific software and techniques of GIS; and elective courses provide additional breadth to the program by allowing students to take courses related to their area of interest.
