Fully Online Graduate Program

The M.S. in Geoscience with a focus in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is intended to enhance students’ expertise in the discipline of Geography as well as the use of GIS as an analytical tool. Geography provides us with an understanding of not only where phenomena are located upon the Earth’s surface, but also how they came to be there as a result of natural and/or anthropogenic processes. Through this understanding, Geospatial scientists can employ GIS to manage, analyze and model these spatial relationships, and predict the future form and location of these phenomena.
