In this program, you’ll build foundational knowledge in geographic information systems, then learn to operate unmanned aircraft systems.

You can earn your certificate in GIS and unmanned aircraft systems entirely online at the College of Professional Studies. Credits earned in the certificate program can then apply to a six-course graduate certificate or towards a master’s degree in geographic information systems.
What is our collective relationship?
How do we access, create and live in community—individually, in small collectives and as a whole? As we share our stories, we learn about the real differences in the ways we experience community. As well, some patterns of our shared values have emerged. Activities include a Community Voices, increased presence of social media highlights, and featuring the work of our amazing community members via the You Rock! Awards program.
How do our systems and structures reflect our values in action?
We create and adopt practices, and hold ourselves accountable to making decisions that reflect our communal commitments. We draw on the employee engagement and COACHE surveys and campus climate work, expand our use of inclusive pedagogy tools and resources through the Inclusive Teaching Practices website, and create community-led workshops and conversations for defining our shared values and how we imagine living them.
Who are we as a community?
