Introduction

The graduate certificate in geographic information systems (GIS) 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 non-degree student.

Certificate Requirements

The GIS graduate certificate requires the successful completion of four core GIS classes with a grade of B- or better; any prerequisites for those individual classes are also required.
