Certification in Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems:
A certificate in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information
Systems (RS/GIS) is available to any student who completes one of
the following tracks and receives a “C” or better in each of the courses
taken.
1. Basic Certificate in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information
Systems: (12 hours) This certificate is designed to support
the needs of students who require RS/GIS skills as part of an
educational emphasis that is not focused on RS/GIS, but anticipate
working in a setting in which a basic understanding of these
concepts and technologies is helpful. All students must have prior
credit in Geography 2801 (or an approved substitute course) and
complete the following requirements: Geography 4805, 4810, and
4830. In addition, all students shall select one course from Geography
4815, 4820, 4825, 4831, 6820, 6825, or an approved course
from a department other than Geography.
2. Professional Certificate in Remote Sensing and Geographic
Information Systems: (21 hours) This certificate is designed
to support the needs of students who anticipate a central role
for RS/GIS in their professional careers, but who do not wish
to pursue a RS/GIS track within a geography degree program.
All students must show prior credit in Geography 2801(or an
approved substitute course) and complete the following requirements:
Geography 4805, 4810, 4820, 4830, and 4831. In addition,
all students shall select two courses from Geography 4815, 4821,
4825, 6820, 6825; or one course from the preceding sequence and
an approved course from a department other than Geography.
Minors in Geography
The department offers several minor areas of concentration each
of which requires the completion of 18 credit hours in geography with
a 2.0 grade point average.
Minor in Geography: Geography 1001 or 1002, six hours selected
from among geography courses at the 2000 level, and nine hours
selected from among geography courses at the 3000 level or above.
Minor in Environmental Analysis: Geography 1600, 2151, and 2801,
plus nine hours selected from among Geography 2158, 3490, 3822, 4158,
4220, 4513, 4514, 4530, 4540, 4550, 4810, and 4833.
