关于证书
The ability to think spatially, 解释地图, and creatively use geospatial technologies is a fundamental skill expected in a wide variety of careers today. Maps and mapping technologies also underlie a significant proportion of everyday decision-making.
Acquiring such skills requires formal training in many topics related to the interdisciplinary field of Geospatial Information Science (GIScience). This online graduate certificate is designed for recent college graduates and working professionals without prior background in GIS or 制图学.
- For advanced GIS certificate, see "Online GIS证书: Geospatial Analysis & 编程."
On completion of this certificate, students will be able to independently complete typical mapping 地理空间分析 tasks arising regularly in a wide variety of disciplines and professions.
The expected time to complete this certificate is three semesters.
职业发展机会
根据 GIS认证协会, the number of professionals engaged in the geospatial industry will exceed 675,000 after 2020. GIS and mapping jobs are now so diverse that they are available at various levels of proficiency across thousands of different industries, 政府机构, 以及学术机构. 证书完成后, professionals may be able to advance in their current jobs or apply for new jobs by leveraging their newly acquired GIS based mapping and geospatial data analysis skills.
