Distance Education

The distance education modality is especially appropriate for professionals in geoscience or related fields seeking advanced training. Structured degree programs are defined in two areas:

  1. Geographic Information Science and Technology: Oriented toward geospatial needs of the oil and gas industry.
  2. Petroleum Data Management: Oriented toward data and database needs of the energy industry.

On-Campus Delivery

The on-campus modality offers opportunities to study a wide range of environmental, energy, and geoscience topics. The program is not intended as a teacher-certification curriculum. Students admitted to this program are housed in the Department of Geography.
