Geographers explore factors affecting the distribution of people and their activities on the surface of the earth with the goal of providing meaningful solutions to problems faced by society. Geography's broad and holistic approach is ideally suited for liberal arts majors interested in exploring a concepts and techniques on environmental and sustainability issues, socioeconomic problems and planning policies. Environmental Sciences constitute a multidisciplinary study of the environment that integrate work from chemistry, biology and ecology, physics, geology, geography, anthropology, engineering, political science, law, economics, and the health sciences. Students in all programs are introduced to coursework in the geospatial sciences, a set of techniques that enables scholars and policymakers to use maps and geographic information systems (GIS) to explore and analyze a huge range of topics. Students receiving the certificate will be able to design and develop FOSS4G exclusive or hybrid (using FOSS4G and proprietary software) geospatial information infrastructures and applications capable of better addressing specific socioeconomic, technological, institutional, and financial contexts where GISc&T is used to support planning and decision making.
