Our programs will enhance GEGN580 APPLIED REMOTE SENSING FOR 3.0 students’ quantitative geospatial data analysis skills, help the students GEOENGINEERING AND GEOSCIENCES get ahead of the technology curve, and enable professionals to advance GEGN588 ADVANCED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION 3.0 their careers. SYSTEMS Certificate and Degree Requirements MNGN5XX Big Data Analytics for Earth Resources Sciences 3.0 and Engineering We offer four graduate certificates and a non-thesis Master’s degree. The CEEN501 LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT 3.0 courses taken for certificate degrees can be used towards the Master’s degree. These programs are available as a residential program on the Graduate Certificate of GIS & Mines campus and an online one. GeoInformatics: Environmental Studies The Graduate Certificate Programs in GIS & GeoInformatics outlined Students working towards a Graduate Certificate of GIS & GeoInformatics below may be completed by individuals already holding an undergraduate with specialization in Environmental Studies are required to take: or advanced degree or as a combined degree program by individuals already matriculated as undergraduate students at The Colorado School One Required Course: of Mines. The graduate certificate is comprised of: CEEN581 WATERSHED SYSTEMS MODELING 3.0 Course Work 12.0 And, any three of the following courses: Total Semester Hrs 12.0 GEGN542 ADVANCED DIGITAL TERRAIN ANALYSIS 3.0 GEGN532 GEOLOGICAL DATA ANALYSIS 3.0 Up to 3.0 credit hours can be at the 300- or 400- level and the remainder GEGN579 PYTHON SCRIPTING FOR GEOGRAPHIC 3.0 will be 500 or 600 level as listed below. INFORMATION SYSTEMS

There are four certificates with different specialization areas, GEGN580 APPLIED REMOTE SENSING FOR 3.0 namely Geospatial Information Technology, Geohazards GEOENGINEERING AND GEOSCIENCES Evaluation, Environmental Studies, and Natural Resources Assessment. GEGN588 ADVANCED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION 3.0 SYSTEMS Graduate Certificate of GIS & GeoInformatics: CEEN501 LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT 3.0 Geospatial Information Technology CSCI303 INTRODUCTION TO DATA SCIENCE 3.0 Students working towards a Graduate Certificate of GIS & GeoInformatics with specialization in Geospatial Information Technology are required Graduate Certificate of GIS & GeoInformatics: to take any four of the following courses: Natural Resources Assessment Students working towards a Graduate Certificate of GIS & GeoInformatics GEGN542 ADVANCED DIGITAL TERRAIN ANALYSIS 3.0 with specialization in Natural Resources Assessment are required to GEGN575 APPLICATIONS OF GEOGRAPHIC 3.0 take: INFORMATION SYSTEMS GEGN580 APPLIED REMOTE SENSING FOR 3.0 One Required Course: GEOENGINEERING AND GEOSCIENCES MNGN5XX Big Data Analytics for Earth Resources Sciences 3.0 and Engineering 2 GIS & GeoInformatics - (2021-2022 Catalog)

And, any three of the following courses: Mines Combined Undergraduate / Graduate GEGN532 GEOLOGICAL DATA ANALYSIS 3.0 Program GEGN575 APPLICATIONS OF GEOGRAPHIC 3.0 Students enrolled in Mine's Combined Undergraduate/Graduate Program INFORMATION SYSTEMS may double count up to six hours of credits which were used in fulfilling GEGN579 PYTHON SCRIPTING FOR GEOGRAPHIC 3.0 the requirements of their undergraduate degree at Mines, towards their INFORMATION SYSTEMS graduate program. Any courses that count towards the graduate degree GEGN580 APPLIED REMOTE SENSING FOR 3.0 requirements as either "Required Coursework" or "Elective Coursework", GEOENGINEERING AND GEOSCIENCES as defined below, may be used for the purposes of double counting at GEGN588 ADVANCED GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION 3.0 the discretion of the advisor (MS Non-Thesis) or thesis committee (MS SYSTEMS Thesis or PhD). These courses must have been passed with a "B-" or CEEN501 LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT 3.0 better and meet all other University, Department, Division, and Program requirements for graduate credit. The Master of Science (Non-Thesis) Program Program Director in GIS & GeoInformatics Wendy Zhou, Associate Professor, Engineering Geology & GIS The Master of Science (Non-Thesis) Program outlined below may be completed by individuals already holding an undergraduate or advanced Program Associate Director degree or as a combined degree program by individuals already matriculated as undergraduate students at Colorado School of Mines. Sebnem Duzgun, Professor, Fred Banfield Endowed Chair in Mining Courses taken while working on any of the four GIS & GeoInformatics Engineering graduate certificates can be applied to this Master of Science program. The program is comprised of: Professors Terri Hogue, Hydrology and Water Resources, Professor GEGN575 APPLICATIONS OF GEOGRAPHIC 3.0 INFORMATION SYSTEMS Amy Landis, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Professor, Mines SYGN588 GIS-BASED REAL WORLD LEARNING 6.0 Presidential Fellow for Diversity PROJECT Kamini Singha, Hydrogeology, Professor, Fryrear Chairs for Innovation Core Course Work 21.0 and Excellence Total Semester Hrs 30.0 Teaching Associate Professor Up to 9.0 credit hours can be at the 300- or 400- level listed below and Wendy Fisher, Computer Science, Teaching Associate Professor the remainder will be 500 or 600 level.
