Undergraduate and Graduate certificate programs in GIScience
Marshall University offers interdisciplinary Undergraduate and Graduate Certificates in
Geospatial Information Science. The participating departments and colleges include:
- College of Information Technology and Engineering
- College of Liberal Arts
- College of Science
- Biology
- Geology
- Integrated Science and Technology
- Physics
The program is directed by the James Leonard, Geography Department.
The program is designed to:
- offer GIS study in a variety of disciplines with a variety of applications;
- teach students GIS techniques;
- encourage students to apply GIS to solve scientific research problems;
- encourage students to gain experience in the GIS field before graduation by means of internships and work study programs;
- integrate GIS applications with appropriate computer science training;
- prepare students for GIS employment or GIS work at the graduate level.
See the Full Color Brochure (pdf).
