instruction in geographic information systems and are involved in a
multidisciplinary studio that applies the tools and systems
understanding afforded by GIS.
Graduate advisement: Students are initially to be advised by the
Graduate Coordinator. He or she has guided the student's
application through the acceptance process and is familiar with the
student's background and needs. A plan of study is developed that
includes required and optional courses. By the end of the second
semester of study, each student is required to form a supervisory
committee composed of two faculty members. The primary purpose
of the graduate committee is to advise the student on educational
objectives and the thesis or project course work.
