CERTIFICATE PROGRAMS


UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA CERTIFICATE IN GIS
Geographic Information Science

Geographic Information Science is everywhere. Where once we drew maps, GIS now increases efficiency with which spatial data is collected, stored, mapped, analyzed, and visualized. It has been nothing short of revolutionary. The tools and techniques of GIS can literally be applied to any endeavor:
- health science
- business
- local government
- land use-planning
- environmental assessment
- academic and applied research in natural and social sciences

The University of Arizona offers state-of-the-art training in GIS through courses and hands-on application through the School of Natural Resources and the Department of Geography and Regional Development. This collaboration has produced a graduate certificate program in GIS for graduate students who wish to augment their graduate degrees, recent graduates who want more training before they enter the work world, and professionals who need to develop a new skill set or formalize their training in GIS.

The GIS Certification Application is located at:

UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA CERTIFICATE IN WATER POLICY

With the assistance of the Water Resources Research Center (WRRC), the Departments of Geography and Regional Development (GRD) and Soil, Water and Environmental Science (SWES) are proposing an academic Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Water Policy. To obtain the Certificate, students must complete a 12-unit program of study that includes core and thematic courses.

Core courses focus on the policy aspects of water, while thematic courses focus on water resource management and related social scientific aspects. The program is designed for students to begin in the fall and complete in one to two academic years. Students will be able to complete the Certificate in conjunction with a graduate or professional degree program or as a stand-alone certificate.
