Remote sensing technologies are utilized across diverse sectors including environmental resource management, marketing, facility operations, agriculture, urban planning, national security, and intelligence. Furthermore, the integration between remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) continues to strengthen. Demand for skilled professionals in these areas is rising quickly. The remote sensing certification program was developed to address this growing need. This program has received approval from the Office of the President and will be documented on official Texas A&M University transcripts. Participants will also receive a physical certificate. The Department of Geography oversees this certification program.
