Application for Admission
The Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIST) provides an academic structure
for an interdisciplinary exchange of ideas around geospatial information and analysis. The GIST enables specialized,
multidisciplinary training and research opportunities in various emerging areas of geospatial information science
and technology. Certificate students will not only participate in a cutting-edge program and receive explicit
recognition of specialization in GIST by virtue of the Graduate Certificate but will be well positioned to compete for
the most desirable jobs in geospatial technology, both in academia and in industry.
The program is hosted by the Department of City and Regional Planning and governed jointly by the deans of the
College of Environmental Design, College of Natural Resources, and College of letters and Science, Division of
Social Science.
