Concentration in GIS and Cartography The major goal of the concentration program is to provide interested students who aspire to enter mapping science professions or who wish to use the techniques of these professions in their work an opportunity to gain the knowledge and technical competence required to succeed. Because we anticipate that those entering the program will come from diverse departments and will aspire to various goals, we have decided to keep the requirements flexible so that we can tailor the program to fit the needs of its participants. The courses from which students can select are from four disciplines: computer science, geography, management information systems, and mathematics. To assure technical competence, we will require students to demonstrate basic competency in at least three of these four areas. Students entering the program will complete an assessment designed to ascertain their level of competency at the outset. Program advisors will use the results of the assessment along with the student's goals to plan the student's program. All students will take a set of at least seven courses [21 S.H.] selected in consultation with the program advisor. |
