The post baccalaureate certificate in GIS is a 16-credit program designed for graduate students or professionals seeking to acquire advanced skills in geographical information analysis to complement their main area of expertise.
Certificate students are required to take one fundamental class on GIS principles, methods and techniques and choose three elective courses that cover various applications of GIS. Electives can be selected based on each student specific interests and/or schedule. It should be noted that a sequence of 3 electives are offered as night classes, allowing students who can take only night classes to complete the certificate in two years.
