Program Description
This program is designed for students wanting to complete a two-year AAS Degree in Geospatial Science and enter the workforce. Students explore the development, application and principles of geographic information systems. This two-year degree prepares the student for a career in high-tech fields, including photogrammetry, cartography, geographical information systems, global positioning systems, and satellite remote sensing. Students learn how to: acquire geospatial information from a variety of sources, interpret, use and manage geospatial data for a given purpose, and how to use geographic information system software for storage, manipulation, and analysis of geospatial data.
