The applied Geographic Information System (GIS) graduate program will give students the critical knowledge to succeed in the challenging world of geospatial technologies. This includes advanced classes and labs in GIS (ArcGIS), remote sensing (ERDAS IMAGINE), web-based mapping, model builder, programming, and spatial analysis. In particular, this program is designed to enhance an individual's knowledge in geographic information science and technology. Additionally, applications of the technology in the oil and gas industry, public health sector, parcel mapping, local government, law enforcement, national security, and market research are featured.
The GIS master's program offers two tracks; a Traditional track that offers a mix of face-to-face and online classes and a Professional track that is offered completely online.
For the convenience of our students, all face-to-face classes for this program are offered at The Woodlands Center campus.
