Bachelor of Science - Geographic Information Science

Geographic information science (GIS) majors will learn how to study and produce maps, and how to collect, process and interpret geospatial information (which is simply data associated with a specific location). Students typically take foundational classes in subjects like maps and geography (with a bit of math and computer science), then move on to electives based on their specific interests. Of course, students will also get hands-on training in software and technology used by potential employers while they study problems related to the environment, health, cities and other topics.
