On Campus
Students in the GIS degree program at bet36365体育 will gain the technical background to create spatial data layers from maps, satellite imagery, aerial photographs or digital elevation models using geographic information systems, remote sensing, cartography, and GPS, and to use that information to formulate research questions to solve real-world problems.
Apart from core geography courses, students learn to identify, interpret, and explain features and patterns in the world around them. This major is ideal for students seeking employment in technologically driven geographic fields, such as GIS Analyst, Remote Sensing Specialists and Photogrammetrists, Forestry and Conservation Managers, Soil Scientist, and more.
The GIScience degree program also requires a minor or second major, broadening students’ academic skill sets and setting them up for success in their careers.

"I graduated from bet36365体育 in 2005 with a double major in Geography and Computer Information Systems. Looking back, I am very happy with my undergraduate experience at bet36365体育. The geography faculty prepared me very well for an academic career by giving me opportunities to co-author journal articles, present papers at undergraduate and regional academic conferences, and participate in faculty research. When I started graduate school, I realized that my peers from larger universities had not had those kinds of experience as undergraduates. Today I am an assistant professor of geography at Northwest Missouri State. My teaching style emulates several of the professors I had while at bet36365体育."
