Chairperson
Dr. Duke U. Ophori

The academic program consists of completion of three courses out of five, for a total of 9 semester hours, plus a short specialized workshop, in the following structure:

Complete the following two courses:

ENVR/GEOS 455, Fundamentals of Remote Sensing of the Environment, 3
EUGS/GEOS 450, Geographic Information Systems, 3

Complete one of the following three courses

ENVR 655, Advanced Remote Sensing of the Environment, 3
ENVR 680, Spatial Analysis, 3
EUGS 770, Advanced Geographic Information Systems, 3 

Complete a short workshop on a specialized topic, offered by the program. A short workshop entails hands-on practical training on a focused topic (e.g., Real Estate GIS, Remote Sensing for Vegetation Mapping, Land Cover Classification of Remote Sensing Data, GIS Tools in Water Quality Management, Urban Climatology, and others), lasting a week of concentrated exposure to the concepts and procedures. These would be offered during the Winter Break or Summer sessions. (EUGS 504 Pro-Seminar may be designated for such a workshop if college credit is useful to the participants.)
