Geospatial technology is a term used to describe the range of modern tools contributing to the geographic mapping and analysis of the Earth and human societies.
These technologies are growing rapidly and are informing decision-makers about topics such as biodiversity conservation, agricultural monitoring, freshwater management, urban planning, transportation, logistics, trade, natural disaster prevention, humanitarian relief, and much more.
Our Geospatial Technology minor helps students build skills in geospatial technology, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Remote Sensing (RS).
The Geospatial Technology minor is essential for students in fields that require modern geospatial technology skills to be competitive in the job market, such as biology, marine science, ecosystem science and policy, architecture, economics, business, and engineering.
