Geospatial intelligence (GeoINT) is a fast-growing discipline combining human analysis with geographic technologies to enhance national security and intelligence operations. This 15-credit certification program is a collaborative effort between the College of Geosciences and the Bush School of Government and Public Service. It equips students with technical expertise, intelligence methodology understanding, and analytical skills essential for GeoINT professionals. The curriculum addresses the increasing need for skilled personnel in this sector. The credential is officially recorded on Texas A&M University transcripts. Instruction is provided by faculty from both the Geography and International Affairs departments. Participants take two courses from each department before concluding with a capstone project. The program is administratively housed within the Geography Department.
