The B.S. in Geospatial Information Science and Technology (GIST) will allow you to combine proficiency in spatial thinking and geospatial data science analysis with fluency in geographic information systems, remote sensing, data analytics, and visualization. Once you complete the degree, you will be prepared to apply your geospatial knowledge and skills in a wide range of fields, from environmental management and public health, to civil engineering and urban planning, to economic analysis and marketing.
Looking for a way to add geospatial expertise to your resume? 9-10 credit certificates in GIS or remote sensing give you paths for gaining geospatial experience to enhance your prospects in the job market while teaching you skills that you can apply to any major. The GIS certificate includes courses in GIS software and analysis, spatial data visualization, and programming to give you foundational skills in these important subjects. The remote sensing certificate teaches you how to analyze and extract information from digital images and you can explore specific remote sensing applications and platforms, including drones, with targeted elective courses. WyGISC also offers many undergraduate GIST courses for students interested in specific aspects of geospatial science.
