PGCert in Geography and Cartography

This graduate GIS certificate gives students the same technology and geospatial expertise as the applied GIS master's program, but without the outside concentration and without the practicum, capstone or thesis. Four required courses address advanced computer cartography, advanced geospatial technologies, advanced GIS and spatial analysis, and automation and scripting. Outcomes include designing and managing spatial databases, applying project management methods, scripting to automate geospatial work, and judging whether information sources suit GIS applications. Some of the coursework must be completed at the university. The catalog entry lists the program code and the classification of instruction code used for reporting. Prospective students should review the plan of study with an academic advisor before enrolling. The page belongs to the university's official academic catalog, which also covers course descriptions and general policies.
