Geographic Information Science

The Advanced Certificate in Geographic Information Science (GISc) consists of 17-20 credits of graduate-level coursework, and builds on the strengths of Lehman's Masters of Science Program in GISc (MS-GISc). This Certificate is designed to attract and prepare professionals in the New York City metropolitan region and beyond who work in the various fields involving spatial information, such as urban planning, environmental management, public health, engineering, and sustainable development, for new or augmented careers incorporating GISc. It is intended to give the students the opportunity to develop or upgrade their skills and knowledge of GISc especially as applied to their particular fields. The GISc Certificate Program courses also can be applied toward the MS-GISc graduate degree if the courses comply with the College's transfer of credit or change of degree policies.
