发展与环境地理信息科学理学硕士

地理信息科学（GIS）硕士课程是该大学三个领域之间的合作：地理研究生院，国际开发，社区和环境（IDCE）系以及基于软件的地理空间的领先开发商Clark Labs解决方案，在克拉克大学成立并安置在这里。Clark实验室开发的TerrSet / IDRISI平台已迅速成为世界上使用最广泛的GIS系统之一，并且正在形成解决地理空间问题的方法。我们的学生与教师专家紧密合作，研究，评估和应用创造性的地理空间方法来应对一些最紧迫的社会挑战。我们在保护GIS，土地用途变更，公共卫生，环境正义，粮食安全和人道主义援助以及
If your goal is to be a leader in the GIS field, our Master's in Geographic Information Science (GIS) is designed for you. The GIS master's program is a natural extension of our internationally recognized work on the frontier of geospatial technology, and we are pioneering the interpretation of remote sensing, mapping, and analytics, continually revealing new information about our world.<br><br>The M.S. in Geographic Information Science (GIS) is a collaboration among three areas of the university: the Graduate School of Geography, the Department of Sustainability and Social Justice (formerly IDCE), and Clark Labs, a leading developer of software-based geospatial solutions, founded and housed here at Clark University. The TerrSet/IDRISI platform developed at Clark Labs has quickly become one of the most widely used GIS systems in the world and is shaping approaches to geospatial problem-solving.<br><br>Our students work closely with faculty experts to research, assess, and apply inventive geospatial approaches to some of the most pressing societal challenges. We work at the leading edge of areas such as conservation GIS, land-use change, public health, environmental justice, food security and humanitarian assistance, and earth systems information science. Our four concentration tracks provide an opportunity to study these topics at even greater depth, positioning you for immediate impact upon graduation.<br><br>International students who graduate with a STEM degree may be eligible to work in the U.S. for up to 36 months on Optional Practical Training (OPT).<br><br>Clark's master's degree in GIS combines rigorous academics with widely varied, highly applied learning opportunities. Our two-year program offers ample opportunities to take what you learn in the classroom and put it to work in the wider world through creative engagements with communities, nonprofits, government, and the private sector. By working hands-on with partners, you gain valuable experience applying theories and implementing your creative solutions to complex problems.<br><br>The M.S./GIS program requires the completion of 12 course units, including a series of required courses, prerequisites and electives that vary according to the concentration.
