The Department of Geography offers graduate certificates in Geographic Information Science (GIS) and Geospatial Intelligence (GeoInt):
Geographic Information Science (GIS) technologies are applied to a wide range of fields with interests in spatially distributed information, such as transportation, environmental/resource management, marketing, facility management, health care delivery, agriculture and planning. The need for qualified individuals in this field is growing rapidly. The GIS certificate program has been designed to meet this demand. The certificate is administered through the Department of Geography, and it will appear on the official Texas A&M University transcript.
Geospatial intelligence (GeoInt) is a rapidly emerging field that leverages human intelligence and geospatial technologies in the support of national security and other intelligence activities. This 15-credit-hour certificate is offered jointly by the Department of Geography and the Bush School of Government and Public Service. The program develops the technical skill set, knowledge of intelligence processes, and critical thinking ability required of GeoInt practitioners. This certificate program has been designed to meet the growing demand for qualified individuals in the field.
