Geographical Information Science

Rowan students pursing a Bachelor of Science in G.I.S. study the white-hot field of spatial analysis, a field that is documenting the planet with satellite-guided accuracy. A relatively new field, spatial analysis employs complex data sets to explore how various environmental factors can impact a place. Visualization tools employed in GIS enable exploration with 3D modeling and across time periods. Career opportunities for GIS technicians, analysts and specialists are in demand in the public and private sectors alike.
