The intention of this certificate is to provide graduate-level students at UCD with the mechanisms for demonstrating capabilities in spatial techniques in the social and/or physical sciences. The focus of this certificate is on a broad array of geospatial techniques, including geographic information systems, remote sensing, cartography and statistics, which give students additional analytical skills for the workplace or graduate school. This certificate is designed for majors in GES as well as other disciplines.

Upon successful completion of the certificate, students will be able to:

• understand basic theoretical underpinnings of spatial analysis
• apply geo-spatial technologies to real-world problems
• have a basic knowledge of how to operate at least three types of software used in spatial analytical applications

Application

Spatial techniques are tools with broad application. Consequently, graduate students in any discipline will be admitted into the program. Non-degree seeking students with a prior bachelor’s degree will also be admitted. To apply for non-degree admission, go to Information for Undergraduate Students  and click on the Nondegree Students link at top of page. Students may begin the program in any semester or during the summer by making arrangements with the GIS certificate coordinator, and completing and signing the Application for GISci Certificate .
