Geospatial information science (GIScience) is the interdisciplinary field that studies the foundations of geographic concepts, and the design and application of geographic information systems (GIS) and allied geospatial technologies. This GIScience certificate is designed for professionals seeking advanced analytical and GIS programming skills to become competitive in the computational and software design aspects of GIS and mapping technology. Exposure to the basics of web-mapping, Python-focused GIS programming, and advanced geospatial analysis will prepare students for a wide variety of computational GIS jobs across a wide spectrum of professional settings in industry and academia. The expected time to complete this certificate is three semesters.

The Ohio University Graduate College works together with each graduate program to process and review your application. You submit all application materials to the Graduate College, where your materials are gathered for the academic program.
Once you have found the graduate program to help you meet your personal and professional goals, review the application requirements and deadlines in the Graduate Catalog and on the academic program website.
Each program handles application reviews differently, but generally, there is a committee of faculty who review applications. Admission recommendations are sent to the Graduate College which then confirms minimum admission requirements have been met and finalizes the admission offer. Your admission is not final until you receive an email confirmation from the Graduate College.
You will be entering your information on a secure server. You do not need to complete the application all at once; the system allows you to save and return at your convenience.
You can upload most application materials directly to the online application. We recommend you use this option to ensure your materials are kept together with your application. The application also hosts a secure online recommendation system.
The Graduate College uses an electronic imaging system for programs to review applications and supporting documents. Programs can review materials once they are processed by Graduate College staff.
