Program Overview
Cutting-edge GIS training prepares students
to apply geographic information systems
technology skills to solve real-world problems.
Whether youre determining the best location
for a new store, analyzing environmental
damage, or viewing similar crimes in a city to
detect a pattern, GIS plays a vital role in todays
toughest spatial challenges. GIS students
receive applied instruction from professional
practitioners who work in the elds they teach
as they learn to plan, implement, and execute
a geographic information systems project and
learn skills in GPS, remote sensing, internet
mapping, or digital image processing. Students
will explore GIS fundamentals at a very hands-
on, applied level necessary to succeed in the
eld, plus learn the contextual background of
GIS.
From the management of natural resources
to public utility management, public works
engineering, environmental impact assessment,
and even market research, students will learn
the diverse fundamentals of each topic within the
GIS industry and gain an insiders perspective to
specic elds as they each relate to geographic
information systems. University College offers
the regions rst complete graduate certicate
program in geographic information systems.
Since the advent of GIS over 50 years ago,
Colorado has become Geotech Alley leading
the nation in GIS activity and development.
This masters degree and graduate certicate
program is highly regarded due to its curriculum
and faculty, state-of-the-art labs, and the fact
that the skills and strategies you learn in class
are immediately applicable.
Geographic Information Systems Outcomes
This program prepares students to:

Understand the nature of geographic data

Recognize appropriate applications of GIS technology to solve spatial problems
Apply GIS technology to solve real-world problems
Plan, implement, and execute a GIS project
Design and implement processes and content in organizations to meet the description
of organizational excellence, which includes strong leadership
Students will take the rst half of the degree by taking classes online or on campus in the evenings
through the University College graduate certicate program in Geographic Information Systems
Students will then take the second half of the program exclusively online through the Department
of Geography and the Environments MS in Geographic Information Science
How It Works
Students will rst apply to the graduate certicate in Geographic Information Systems at University
College (universitycollege.du.edu). Once they complete the graduate certicate coursework and
qualify to become a masters candidate for the MSGISc program, students may apply to the
Department of Geography and the Environment.
How to Apply
Students must meet two of the following three admission criteria to be considered for acceptance
into the online MS-GIS program:
1. Undergraduate grade point average of 3.0 or better
2. A grade point average of 3.5 in the University College GIS certicate program
3. A minimum combined score of 300 on the Graduate Records Examination (GRE)
Degree Admission
Online students will use a virtual lab

Career Opportunities
Future GIS professionals will need to learn
to navigate and manage a culture of
change within the industry as geographic
information systems continue to evolve and
innovate, according to the 2013 industry
outlook by GeoPlace.com. A rising need
for professionals with technological and
management experience or education
is expected, as jobseekers need to
demonstrate a comprehensive range of skills
in this changing job market, from geographic
information systems to information and
communication technologies, project
management to leadership acumen.
