About Graduate Certificate in Environmental Sciences and Policy/Geographic Information Systems

MS in Environmental Sciences and Policy / Certificate in Geographic Information Systems

The use of geographic information systems (GIS) has become standard for many professionals and is one of the most powerful and versatile tools for solving today's environmental and sustainability issues. To enable students to exploit the complementary nature of the fields, we have eliminated the overlap between the MS in Environmental Science and Policy and the graduate certificate in GIS. This enables students to earn both the MS degree and the Graduate Certificate by completion of a total of 13 courses rather than the 15 courses that would be required to complete the programs separately. At least one course must satisfy the residency requirement. Interested students, including those already enrolled in either program, should apply to both the MS in ESP and the Graduate Certificate in GIS program concurrently.
