Geographic Information Systems and Geomatics certificate
The graduate certificate in geographic information systems (GIS) and geomatics is designed to supplement knowledge needed in the professional work environment or as a way to see if a graduate degree in GIS is a good fit. Students may earn this certificate without formal admission to a master’s degree program in engineering if they take these classes as a nondegree student.
Curriculum
