About the minor
Build practical geospatial skills that can be applied across a wide range of disciplines and career fields. The Geospatial Information Science minor introduces Geographic Information Systems, Global Positioning Systems, remote sensing, and programming to help you analyze spatial data, solve problems, and support data-driven decision-making.
Explore applications across natural resources and beyond while developing technical skills that complement your major and prepare you for an increasingly data-driven workforce.
Declaring a minor
