Geographical Information Science (B.S.)
B.S. in Geographical Information Science (GIS)
Picture Yourself In Our Major
Intervene in the world, don’t just live in it. Make sense of space, don’t just occupy it. See depth, patterns and trends in geography; people, their movement and impact — all turned into data. Then lay it over the world to answer the big “why and where” questions. These are the questions and skills that Geographic Information Science (GIS) immerses you in.
With GIS, you won’t just change the world … you’ll build a new world.
