Graduate Certificates in Remote Sensing and in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are joint programs through the Departments of Forest Science and Geography.

Remote Sensing (RS) technologies are applied to wide-ranging fields such as environmental/resource management, marketing, facility management, agriculture, planning, homeland security and intelligence. In addition, the synergistic linkages between RS technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are rapidly increasing.

These certificate programs have been designed to meet the growing demand for qualified individuals. Each certificate requires 12 hours of coursework. For detailed information please contact a graduate advisor in the Department of Forest Science or the Department of Geography.
