ProgramsThere are a variety of options available for you to advance your skills and improve your career opportunities in the GSP curriculum. Geospatial ScienceGeospatial science allows environmental scientists and resource managers to better understand and manage challenges related to socio-environmental issues such as food, energy, public health, and natural resources, including management and conservation of wildlife, fisheries, oceans, forests, rangelands and soils, and wildland recreation resources. Geospatial Science Option in the Environmental Science & Management Degree Geography MajorThe geospatial system concentration in geography allows students to develop geospatial approaches to address issues at the intersection of the natural and social sciences, including issues of climate change, environmental conservation, human migrations, water resources, climatology, and regional studies. The geography program offers a wide range of field experiences, community involvement, and collaborative opportunities. Geospatial Analysis MinorThis program prepares students to apply the technologies of geographic information systems, cartography, and multispectral remote sensing, to various disciplines. Masters of Natural ResourcesThe M.S. program in Natural Resources is intended to provide graduate training in traditional disciplines, as well as flexibility for training in the interdisciplinary aspects of natural resources. Masters of Natural Resources (can be taken with a focus on geospatial analysis Geospatial CertificateOur Geospatial Certificate Program provides foundational concepts and methods in GIS, Remote Sensing, and Cartography that are transferable and relevant across disciplines and industries. Anyone can apply for the geospatial certificate except for existing HSU undergraduates who will want to apply for the Geospatial Analysis Minor. |
