Geospatial Intelligence Graduate Certificate
Threats to human security come in many forms – natural disasters, humanitarian crises, environmental risks, public health issues, military operations, terrorist attacks, genocide, political violence, and resource accessibility, among others. This certificate leverages geospatial science and technology with intelligence tools to develop geospatial intelligence skills that assist in informing decision-making in disaster response, humanitarian relief efforts, and national security.
The Geospatial Intelligence Certificate does not require a background in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), however, applicants without undergraduate GIS courses and/or relevant work experience may need to take the following prerequisite coursework GISC 5200K, GISC 5021K, and GISC 5337 in addition to the 12 hours for the certificate.
