Program
Geomatics
This limited-enrollment program is for students who wish to focus on the acquisition, management, analysis, and display of geographic information. Various applications in planning, environmental and resources management, hazard mapping, demographics, market analysis, and education will be explored. Practical experience will be gained in geomatics, cartography, remote sensing, and quantitative analysis.
