Geographic Information Science (GIS) technologies are utilized across diverse sectors that deal with spatial data, including transportation, environmental resource management, marketing, facility operations, healthcare services, agriculture, and urban planning. There's a growing demand for skilled professionals in Geospatial Technologies. The GIS certificate program was created to address this need. Upon completion, this certification will be recorded on official Texas A&M University transcripts, and the Registrar's Office will issue a physical certificate. The program's courses are instructed by Texas A&M faculty from various departments who specialize in GIS, with administrative oversight residing in the Geography department.
