地理科学学士-地理科学与技术

地理科学与技术领域（GIS）的重点是利用尖端的计算机技术来获取，表示，分析，建模和传播地理空间信息。重点放在GIS科学概念的两个基础上，并在使用地理空间技术（例如GIS，遥感，空间分析和建模，数据库开发和管理，编程，Web GIS和地理可视化）中积累专家知识。通过GIScience系教授的技术和应用GIS课程，学生将从系统培训中受益。地理科学与技术专业的毕业生为进入地理信息技术领域的职业做好了充分的准备。随着GIS科学在各行各业中的高需求，职业机会一直在迅速增长，其中包括GIS分析师，GIS开发商，制图师
The Concentration in GIScience and Technology (GIS) focuses on the acquisition, representation, analysis, modeling and dissemination of geospatial information with cutting-edge computer technologies. Emphasis is placed on both fundamentals of GIScience concepts, and building expert knowledge in the use of geospatial technologies such as GIS, remote sensing, spatial analysis and modeling, database development and management, programming, Web GIS, and geovisualization. Students benefit from systematic training through technical and applied GIS coursework taught by GIScience faculty. Graduates with a Concentration in GIScience and Technology find themselves well-prepared to start a career in a geographic information technology field. Career opportunities have been growing fast as GIScience in high demand in a wide range of professions, including GIS analysts, GIS developers, cartographers, urban and city planners, location analysts, transportation planners and natural resource specialists. Strong connections between the department and local and state agencies offer excellent opportunities to help students achieve their career goals. Students pursuing the Concentration in GIScience and Technology are urged to select their courses in consultation with their advisor to develop an appropriate program of study in this rapidly evolving field to ensure it is tailored to their career goals.
