Why study Geospatial Information Science & Technology at the University of Wyoming?

From map-based apps to complex scientific analyses, Geospatial Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) is playing a growing role in today’s fast-paced world. WyGISC offers undergraduate and graduate courses on-campus and online. Students learn from our expert faculty in courses covering GIS basics, unmanned aerial systems, geospatial programming, data visualization, enterprise systems, web GIS, and spatial modeling, with many other courses designed to explore specific interest areas.

***Note to International Students:

International students enrolled in US universities are limited to a certain number of credit hours of online courses every semester. Since most of the GIST courses are taught in online mode, this could pose problems to international students enrolled in our programs to meet these requirements. Prior to submitting your application, international students must contact UW International Students and Scholars (uwglobal@uwyo.edu) and the WYGISC Academic Director (gist@uwyo.edu) to learn about the current requirement and how it could affect their immigration status.***
