In 2001, the Institute was formed as an interdisciplinary teaching, research and public service resource whose goal is to provide education and training in the geospatial technologies. The Institute offers a variety of educational options: a Certificate in GIS and a B.S degree in Applied Environmental Spatial Analysis with a focus in either Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, or Information Technology. Certificate in GIS B.S. in AESA Introduction to GIS Cartography & Earth Measurement Data Acquisition & Conversion Remote Sensing Digital Image Processing Spatial Analysis in GIS Application Development in GIS Internship/Special Topics This degree contains all of the courses listed in the GIS Certificate. The student then chooses an area to specialize in from the following: Environmental Science Track Engineering emphasis Environmental Studies Track Information Technology Track
