Curriculum & Course Information:
General Information: The GIS/RS Professional-M.S. program in the Department of Geology & Planetary Science is a multi-disciplinary, multi-departmental, non-research degree. Designed to be completed in two acardemic years (plus one summer), the required courses are centered in the Geology and Planetary Science Department and focus on GIS and RS core proficiencies. Students are also required to take at least one course in the Schools of Business, Law, and Information Sciences. Flexibility is designed into the 41-credit program so that the student can tailor his/her coursework to fit specific future career goals and personal interests.
Focused Electives:
Details: These two elective courses should be used to further focus the student's particular interests and career
goals. The sequence must be approved by one of the Pro-M.S. Program Directors and should be focused in one specialization area (i.e., in one Department or School).
Students are encouraged to create their own sequence, but several example sequences and courses are listed below:
- Geological Sciences: Exploration Geophysics (GEOL 1410); Advanced Geohazards and Risk Management (GEOL 2640), Volcanology (GEOL 2750)
- Information Sciences: Statistics in Information Sciences (INFSCI 2060); Information Systems (INFSCI 2510); Software Tools and Techniques (TELECOM 2300)
- Advanced GIS Theory: Geographic Information Systems (INFSCI 1068); Advanced GIS (INFSCI 2720); Arcview Programming (GEOL 2447)
- Computer Programming: Visual Languages (INFSCI 2650); Programming for Web Applications (COE 1520)
