Ne öğreneceğim?

Geographic Information Science is the academic theory behind the development, use, and application of geographic information systems (GIS), remote sensing, data visualization, global positioning systems, spatial analysis, and quantitative methods. This program prepares students with a core foundation in spatial thinking and geospatial data analysis. The goal of this program is to provide a solid foundation in Geospatial Science and to explore application areas that utilize this technology.

The curriculum is a combination of core courses that teach the fundamental theory of geospatial technology and extensive selection of electives that cover the vast range of this burgeoning technology in disciplines such as computer science, management information systems, various field methods techniques, applications in natural sciences (e.g. environmental science, geology, and oceanography) and quantitative analysis. The graduate certificate in Geographic Information Science provides a mixture of theory and practical expertise. The Geographic Information Science certificate is designed to serve: 1) students who wish to acquire technical expertise to support knowledge gained in other graduate programs and 2) returning students who wish to acquire knowledge and expertise to further their current and/or future job requirements. At the end of the program, students will employ a balanced combination of theory of spatial concepts and practical application of Geographic Information Science techniques to spatial problems in their own field of study. UNCW is accredited with the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) to offer a certificate in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT). The GEOINT Certificate is housed in the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences (EOS). To be eligible for the GEOINT Certificate, graduate students must complete the GIS Certificate program and a capstone experience. The capstone experience can be fulfilled by completing a geospatial thesis or portfolio project, geospatial internship or Directed Independent Study (DIS). Students who aspire to a career in geospatial science will be well-served by acquiring this external certificate. Upon successful completion of the GEOINT Certificate at UNCW, students have the option of taking a professional GEOINT Certification exam and thus earning an additional professional certification if successful.
