Geographic Information Systems
Study geography, math, image processing, maps, and 3D scenes and you've only scratched the surface of GIS.
About
Geographic information systems are used as an inquiry-driven, problem-solving, standards-based set of tasks that incorporate fieldwork and provide career pathways that are increasingly in demand.
GIS analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. ​With this unique capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations, helping users make smarter decisions. It helps students think critically, use real data, and connects them to their own community.
This minor is designed to provide students with highly marketable skills for their future career. The GIS minor pairs well with a biology, business, history, social sciences, or information technology major.
