Then you have used a geographic information system (GIS) - a comprehensive database used to query, analyze, and display geographic information. GIS can be used in a wide variety of jobs such as environmental management, urban and regional planning, map production, and web mapping. Our GIS Program teaches you the technical skills needed to work with a GIS database and the GIS theory that informs those skills. Whether you are looking to enhance your existing skill set or pivot to a new career, our program will give you the tools to succeed.\n\nParticipants may complete the program requirements and receive a certificate of completion, or attend just those classes that are of particular interest. There are two certificate options, the regular Certificate and the Certificate with a Concentration in Environmental Analysis. Candidates for the standard certificate designation must pass each of the five core courses (8.0 CEUs), plus pass an additional six courses (at least 9.6 CEUs) from the list of elective courses (for a total of at least 17.6 CEUs). Individuals interested in the concentration in environmental analysis must pass each of the six core courses (9.6 CEUs), plus pass an additional six courses (at least 9.6 CEUs) (for a total of at least 19.2 CEUs) from the electives categories listed below in the Concentration in Environmental Curriculum section.\n\nCertain core course requirements may be waived and replaced with additional elective courses upon advisement, based upon prior experience or coursework (see waivers, substitutions, or equivalencies policy below). However, this does not reduce the total CEUs required for the certificate. Once a candidate has completed the necessary coursework an application for the certificate of completion must be submitted. Once you have passed all required core classes and electives, students are asked to apply for their certificate of completion below.\n\nClasses are held online by the Department of Geography \u0026 Environment. The program is designed to be completed in less than one year and affords the opportunity to finish in one semester (three months).
