Program Description

Geographic Information Science (GIScience) is an inherently interdisciplinary field of study that deals with gathering, analyzing and communicating spatially explicit data about our world. Our GIScience faculty have a wide range of expertise within the field, including geovisualization, spatial statistics, and computing, as well as within application domains like health geography, emergency management, conflict, hazards, and environmental change. Graduates with a background in GIScience are well-prepared for today's demanding job market and get hired in the tech industry, education, government agencies, and consulting firms.
