Master of Science in Geospatial Intelligence

The Master of Science in Geospatial Intelligence (MS GEOINT) is dedicated to providing workforce-focused training at graduate level in ways that can nimbly respond to developments in what is often a rapidly shifting landscape of applied problem-sets, analysis schemes, big and growing data-sets, and software platforms that characterize today’s geospatial intelligence. The MS GEOINT program encompasses a 30-credit (10 units of 3-credit courses) course structure comprised of five core courses and five elective courses that can be taken on a flexible schedule. The MS GEOINT degree can be completed in as little as 15 months for full-time registrants. Our Master of Science in GEOINT program is one of a few programs in USA that have received the USGIF accreditation.
