Geospatial Information Systems Science is one of the<br />
fastest growing industries in the world today. While the<br />
rest of the technology sector has been working to<br />
recover from economic hardships, the GIS industry has<br />
grown to a $30 billion per year enterprise and whose<br />
influence and utility is creating a symbiotic relationship<br />
and integration throughout industry, business, and<br />
government. This certificate is designed to introduce the<br />
students to various scientific theoretical aspects<br />
associated with this field and prepare them to enter this<br />
exciting field as a technician. There is also a “hands on”<br />
component where the students are introduced to the<br />
highly sophisticated software packages through realworld<br />
conservation projects with local agencies and<br />
businesses.<br />
