We welcome applications from students of all educational backgrounds! A student normally should have completed the minimum preparation for an undergraduate major in geography or GIS science-related fields with a 3.00 GPA in all work. If you do not have prior GIS knowledge or experience, you might consider our graduate GIS Certificate program. All 20 credits from the GIS certificate can be applied toward the MS in GIS program, creating a stackable graduate pathway.
