The geographic information systems (GIS) minor provides students with experience in the concepts, technology, and applications related to computer-based mapping, spatial databases, and geographic analysis and problem solving. The minor features two tracks: a GIS development track for students interested in GIS software development, and a GIS analysis track for students interested in utilizing GIS as a strong methodological base within their major degree of study. Required courses provide core GIS foundations applicable to a variety of multidisciplinary elective courses students can chose from to match their research, post-graduate or career GIS interests.
