This one-year Postgraduate Certificate at Nova Scotia Community College's Centre of Geographic Sciences combines geographic information systems (GIS) with data analytics. Delivered fully online, the program covers spatial data analysis, dashboard design, machine learning applied to geospatial data, custom GIS solution development, and artificial intelligence methods for imagery analysis. Coursework builds on foundational GIS skills and applies them to real-world problems across sectors such as environmental management, urban planning, and business intelligence. No prior background in statistics or programming is required to enter the program, though these skills are developed throughout the curriculum. Classes are delivered in small groups, allowing direct interaction with instructors. Graduates receive a Postgraduate Certificate; this credential is not eligible for a Post-Graduation Work Permit. Admission requires a related post-secondary credential, though applicants with substantial industry experience in a geospatial field may also be considered.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: Applicants must hold a diploma, advanced diploma, graduate certificate, or undergraduate degree in a related area such as business, engineering, information technology, or geomatics. Applicants without a formal credential may be considered based on extensive relevant experience working in a geospatial-related field. No prior experience in statistics or programming is required. International applicants must submit official post-secondary documents for assessment.
