The growing adoption of mobile, geospatial, and context-sensitive technologies, along with the development of compatible information frameworks and widespread sensor networks, is transforming how we interact and share information. Location-based data serves as the cornerstone for numerous modern and emerging business and scientific applications, while empowering individuals to collect, share, and create their own geospatial resources. Our academic offerings feature a Master of Science and PhD in Spatial Information Science and Engineering, both centered on designing systems to manage and analyze spatially referenced data. Students engage with cutting-edge theories and tools while establishing a robust knowledge base for long-term professional growth. The doctoral program mandates a minimum of 42 graduate-level credits (with potential transfer credits up to 24), successful defense of a dissertation proposal, and completion of a 12-credit thesis.
