Undergraduate Certificate in GIS and Computational Science at University of Colorado Boulder

The Department of Geography (GEOG) and the Department of Computer Science (CSCI) are offering a joint undergraduate certificate in GIS and computational science. The program draws upon faculty expertise in both departments, providing interdisciplinary training in spatial data analysis and computation, both of which characterize GIS in most career paths. Geographic Information Scientists (GIScientists) have an ongoing concern with the collection, analysis and display of high precision spatial data.
