The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) minor allows students to gain the depth needed for many of the jobs available today requiring knowledge of spatial analysis and geographic data processing capabilities. GIS applications are found in many fields; such as business planning and operations management, epidemiology, criminology, land use planning and economic development, environmental management and conservation, military operations, emergency management, infrastructure management, transportation planning, and library sciences. The GIS minor provides students in any discipline the background and skills to use the technology to support decisions in their field of interest.
