| To earn the GIS Certificate, an undergraduate
student must complete a minimum of 15 hours of approved coursework, and
must earn a grade average of at least B (3.0) in these courses. Four courses
must be successfully completed, with at least one course selected from
each of three groups: Foundation courses (Group A), Theoretical breadth
courses (Group B), and Technical breadth and Application courses (Group
C). In addition, a student must complete an Independent GIS project (3
hours) in consultation with a GIS
faculty member, or complete a fifth course from the GIS curriculum.
Please note: Students earning a Minor
in GIS cannot also receive the GIS Certificate.
