Geographic Information Science Employment
GIScience technology continues to be a growth industry, both
locally and nationally. Most government agencies and private
organizations that use geographical data either have added or
plan to add GIS and related spatial technologies to their
operations. There are excellent career opportunities for AB and
BS degree holders with a GIScience certificate and also for
technical professionals who have been trained in GIScience.
GIScience professionals come from such diverse backgrounds as
anthropology, business, civil engineering, computer science,
ecology, geography, geology, public health, urban planning, and
many more. Students combining geography and computer programming
are especially in great demand.
