GIS
NEWS!! There is now a GIS concentration in the new BIS degree program.
Geographic Information Science
(GISci) is a suite of techniques
for collecting, analyzing, and
communicating information
about the Earth's surface
through technologies such as
geographic information systems,
satellite and aerial imaging,
and global positioning systems.
GISci technologies are applied
to problems in fields ranging
from environmental science to
business decision-making.
Geospatial technology is
applicable to a wide-range
of professional and technical
careers. Students with the tools,
knowledge and crucial hands-on
experience to use this technology
will have greatly enhanced
their ability to secure jobs in
numerous fields.

GISci @ Miami
Having taught courses in
Geographic Information Sciences,
Remote Sensing, Air Photo
Interpretation, and related
topics for many years, the
Department of Geography
(located in Shideler Hall on
the Oxford campus) has expert
faculty often applying these
same technologies to their own
GISci research.
All of Miami's campuses have
computer labs equipped with
state-of-the-art GISci related
software packages. The GIS certificate is recognized by the Urban & Regional Information Systems Association.
