The Johns Hopkins Online Certificate in Geographic Information Systems offers students a foundation in the fascinating fields of Web GIS, geospatial data science, spatial and predictive analytics, programming and application development.

Students will gain invaluable experience in geospatial technology, utilizing web-based platforms and cloud computing environments, to further your understanding of the digital transformation that is revolutionizing business, government, industries, and social organizations. The program is geared to part-time professionals and is available entirely online.

he 9-credit Geospatial Analysis Graduate Certificate at University of Florida is an option for graduate students to expand their skills in geodata analysis. The courses are offered to both on-campus and online students. Geographic information science, remote sensing, image analysis, geostatistics, GIS programming/scripting, web mapping, data visualisation, and spatial modelling are all included in the curriculum.

The Specialized Certificate in Geographic Information Systems at University of California provides students with the skills to store, analyze, and visualize geographic and spatial data.

Basic skills, such as displaying and querying data, are taught in the beginning of the program, and advanced skills, such as designing and maintaining databases and analyzing data for specific applications, are taught later.

The Geographic Information Systems Graduate Certificate gives students the necessary skills and understanding to GIS competently and effectively. A Geographic Information System (GIS) combines layers of data to give needed information on specific locations.Such a system can map environmental sensitivities or geological features, or can report on how best to speed emergency personnel to an accident or crime scene. Current fields using GIS include healthcare, public safety, environmental management, transportation and operations technology, real estate, and public utilities.

The Certificate Program in Geospatial Technology (GT) is intended for students who want to improve their geospatial technology skills, particularly in the areas of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite remote sensing. Graduate GT Certificate holders will improve their job prospects and/or advance their careers in geospatial technology, especially in jobs that emphasise the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and satellite remote sensing.

The Geographic Information Science (GIS) technologies are applied to wide-ranging fields with interests in spatially distributed information such as transportation, environmental resource management, marketing, facility management, healthcare delivery, agriculture and planning. The need for qualified individuals in Geospatial Technologies is increasing. The GIS certificate program has been designed to meet this demand.

The Office of the President has approved this program, and it will appear on the official Texas A M University transcript. A paper certificate can also be requested if desired. This certificate is jointly offered between the Departments of Geography and Ecosystem Science and Management.

This certificate program has been designed to meet the growing demand for qualified individuals in the field. While not all courses in the certificate are currently offered in modality, it is possible to obtain the certificate via distance education. For detailed information, please visit the program website or contact the academic advisor in the Geography or in Ecosystem Science and Management.

Geographical Information Systems in Landscape and Urban Planning.

The Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) at the University of Connecticut provides a concentrated set of four 3-credit graduate-level courses that focus on the science behind the development and use of geospatial technologies. The certificate can be completed in one year by two courses in autumn and two during spring, and is available fully on-line.

Geographic Information Science (GIS) is an important synthesis of traditional mapping with advanced tools of data modeling and analysis to provide new and enhanced information on geospatial topics.

The power of GIS is the use of spatial analysis techniques to analyze geographic information.

The GIS certificate offers non-geography and geography graduate students an opportunity to gain the knowledge, theory, and training to use GIS as a tool to answer research questions relevant to their disciplines. This graduate certificate program offers a balance of theory and technical training in Geographic Information Science. The certificate program is designed to accommodate both degree and non-degree seeking students.

Job opportunities for GISc specialists abound in both government and private sectors. Depending on skill level, career tracks include, but are not limited to the following: geospatial analyst, spatial database administrator, cartographer, remote sensing analyst, software designer, data technician, GIS educator, and project manager.

The Geographic Information Science Certificate prepares graduate students in Geography and other disciplines for a wide variety of government, nonprofit, and private sector professional positions, as well as advanced academic study, that utilize geospatial analytic methods and techniques.

Geospatial Intelligence Graduate Certificate at George Mason University is for people who work in geospatial intelligence applications (e.g., federal agencies, corporations, and associations) or want to work in this field. This program offers basic knowledge of geospatial intelligence and the ability to apply that knowledge in a variety of constantly developing situations in geospatial intelligence.

The three key science emphases of this program are geospatial image analysis, spatial analysis, and information technology, which are all represented in the mandatory core courses.

The Certificate of Proficiency in Geospatial Technologies at University of Arkansas is designed for working professionals and for those who wish to join this field. Students will gain key skills that are in demand in a wide range of jobs that are rapidly expanding. Individual online courses are also available to students as part of the program.

The six geospatial technology courses will give students a solid grounding in the field, covering the fundamentals of computational, mathematical, and statistical tools used in geospatial applications.

The courses cover GIS, GPS, and GNSS fundamentals, as well as remote sensing and LiDAR. They focus on the use of geospatial tools in analysis as well as the development and use of spatial databases.
