The Water Science GIS certificate is designed to prepare students for entry-level GIS positions in water and environmental science-related fields. Students gain hands-on experience applying Geographic Information Systems technology to real-world, current issues in environmental sciences. Students learn how to complete field surveys, make related fundamental measurements, and perform numerical and spatial analyses. Professional mapping products and professional reports are created using research, direct communication with stakeholders, and applications of GIS software. Earning the one-year certificate in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) provides up to date training using the latest GIS software versions combined with practical applications and a cap stone project working with a community partners on real world projects. The GIS certificate is included in our two year Water Science associate's degree. Students may opt to earn this certificate on their own, or as part of the associate's degree.
