Geographic Information Science Master of Science

The Master of Science degree program in Geographic Information Science (MSGISc) began in 1999. The Geography Department faculty recognizes the emerging importance of geographic information science and the importance of integrating advanced study in geographic information systems, remote sensing, and global positioning systems with traditional studies in human, cultural, and physical geography. The master's of science degree complements our existing graduate degree offerings.

There are two options within the MS on Campus Program. The course work option requires 60 credit hours.  The project option requires 52 credit hours and satisfactory completion of a Project. For more information please refer to the Geography Graduate Handbook.
