B. PURPOSE AND NATURE OF PROGRAM
The purpose of this degree is to offer “cutting edge” geographic information systems, geographic information science, and geographic information technology to fill the worldwide demand for skilled geospatial professionals. Our focus is on educational training for entry and advancement in the geospatial industries, and thus this is a professional degree, but not necessarily a terminal degree.
The Master’s of Science in Geographic Information Systems Technology would not require a thesis. Instead, they would require students to address a normative or scientific
1 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 2
geographic problem in the form of a “substantial research project…in lieu of a thesis”.1 The program will require an internship. Incoming students will meet all University of Arizona Graduate College admission requirements.
There are numerous geographic information systems and technology courses taught at the University of Arizona. Most such courses are offered through SGD and SNRE and have been developed in concert with these programs’ academically-oriented graduate degrees (e.g., MS/PhD in Geography, MS/PhD in Natural Resources). Students seeking a professional program focused entirely in GIST are limited to the cooperatively delivered Graduate Certificate in GIS (http://www.snr.arizona.edu/GIS_Web). Professional students are also limited by courses designed to augment specific academic programs with their own degree requirements, thereby limiting their access to a comprehensive and integrative GIST education, especially with respect to professionally-oriented training. Matters such as daytime course scheduling, uneven sequencing of courses, and the need to focus on the requirements of a student’s specific academic degree are just a few of the roadblocks for busy professionals. The MS in GIST is designed to meet the needs of professionals by offering an integrated evening program in GIST that can be completed through evening study in one year.
The proposed program will offer advanced training in the principles and practices of geographic information systems technology through learner-centered education and problem-based learning. This pedagogic strategy reinforces the focus on professional education and training.
A new tract for the Graduate GIS Certificate at the University of Arizona2 would also be developed. The current Graduate GIS Certificate Program would continue unaffected by the proposed programs. The new tract for the Graduate GIS Certificate Program would constitute the first fall sequence of courses of the proposed MS in GIST degree as well as three credits of Practicum.
C. PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS
The MS in GIST would be offered as an integrative series of courses in the evenings from 6-9pm, Monday through Thursday, in the fall and spring semesters. Only students in the new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS, or students in the MS in GIST would be able to enroll in the courses offered by this program. Credits from the new Graduate GIS Certificate would be transferable to the MS in GIST. No other credits would be allowed to transfer to this degree program as it would affect program fees and available seating.
For the MS in GIST, the summer session would consist of three credits of GIST Internship and three credits of GIST Practicum. The MS in GIST would have a total of thirty graduate credit hours taken in the fall, spring and first summer semester, thereby
1 http://grad.arizona.edu/academics/program-requirements/masters-degrees/credit-requirements 2 http://www.snr.arizona.edu/GIS_Web/
2 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 3
satisfying the University of Arizona’s Graduate College requirements for a MS degree within one calendar year.3
Evening courses reaffirm the professional focus of the proposed degree as students would be able to work during the day, seek geographic information systems technology employment or internships, or work on campus.
We are proposing an integrative and innovative pedagogic sequence of courses. Rather than each course being taught on a separate night in the fall and spring semesters, they would occur sequentially with three courses running approximately 5.3 weeks in the fall semester and four courses running 4 weeks in the spring semester (based on the normal 16 week semester). Business courses would either by taken online or follow their regularly scheduled times. This integrative pedagogic strategy takes advantage of leaner- centered education (LCE) practices in the following ways: (a) each course builds upon the knowledge gained in the previous course, which thereby reduces redundancy across courses and between the certificate and the Master’s degree; (b) the reduction in redundancy allows students to focus all their attention on one area rather than forcing sometimes awkward linkages across course topics if taken on different days of the week; and (c) the integrative approach allows courses to be arranged in a sequential manner.
The integrative model also provides flexibility in the curriculum, including: (a) the ability to introduce new pedagogy within a course that highlights current innovations in the geospatial technology industry; and (b) the inclusion of visiting faculty and geospatial professionals possessing unique skills but with time commitments that preclude semester long commitments. Furthermore, an integrative model allows the MS in GIST to take advantage of the diversity of existing strengths in geographic information technology at the University of Arizona (see “Existing Courses” below). Faculty and staff in both SGD and SNRE who currently teach or do research related to geographic information systems technology will be drawn upon to teach a unique set of skills related to specific courses or course modules.
Learner Centered Education Our proposed integrative pedagogic practice emphasizes learner-centered education principles adopted by the Arizona Board of Regents in 1999. It does so in the following ways: (a) it creates a Learning Community; (b) allows for Differential Learning Pedagogic Practices; (c) promotes Active Cooperative Learning, which leads to (d) improved Outcomes and Assessment Matrices.
Creating a Learning Community Our integrative pedagogic practice seeks to create an integrated community of learners. It does so by providing an “efficient and flexible college education that promotes deeper, more lasting and more transferable learning.”4 This is reinforced through the frequency of weekly interaction and through a defined annual student cohort that engages with one another throughout an entire year. Students and faculty spend each evening together
3 http://grad.arizona.edu/academics/program-requirements/masters-degrees/credit-requirements 4 http://www.abor.asu.edu/4_special_programs/lce/general_faq.htm
3 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 4 during the week, thereby reinforcing a sense of community and providing a holistic approach to creating a learning community. Furthermore, integrative courses that meet regularly allow for frequent interaction among students and faculty, creating a socially cohesive and professional environment that broadens learning goals.5
Annual extracurricular events would be built into the program, such as an opening night orientation and reception, an end of the fall semester gathering, a spring GIST Practicum “colloquium” (to discuss their summer curriculum), and a graduation ceremony. As the program grows, alumni would be invited to the opening night reception to perpetuate the sense of community and offer a forum for professional networking.
The MS in GIST and the new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS would further seek to employ professionals from the local business community as Faculty Associates (FAs). Funding for FAs would come from tuition returned and/or from a to-be-proposed $1,500 program fee. This is essential to maintaining business linkages, showing that the program is professionally based, and supplementing applied skills and problem sets not available within the University system. Key individual and corporate liaisons in the Pima geospatial business community that could teach in the program or assist in locating qualified FAs include: o John Regan, Pima County Department of Transportation, Information Technology Department, with 21+ years in the GIS profession. He has worked on the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and served on the board of supervisors and county administrator’s office. At the University of Arizona, he has taught in the School of Renewable Natural Resources. He is informally referred to as the “Godfather” of GIS in Pima County. o Steve Whitney, Pima County Department of Transportation, Information Technology Department. o Jack Lloyd Division Manager, Pima County Department of Transportation, Information Technology Department. o John Dickinson, Pima County Department of Transportation, Information Technology Department. o Doug Kliman, PhD in Geography from the University of Arizona. Former owner of Tactical Geographics (http://www.tacgeo.com/index.htm) and skilled in Web-Based GIS. o i2 (http://www.i2group.com/), an ESRI Business Partner with an office in Tucson focused on Intelligence-Led Operations Platforms. o Scientific Technologies Corporation (http://www.stchome.com), an ESRI Business Partner with an office in Tucson focused on services and technology solutions for medical records, public health resources, and surveillance systems for epidemiology and registries. o Sunquest Information Systems Inc (http://www.stchome.com), an ESRI Business Partner with an office in Tucson focused on providing medical laboratory connectivity, orders, reporting and messaging solutions. o TerraSystems Southwest Inc (http://www.terrasw.com), an ESRI Business Partner with an office in Tucson focused on GIS strategic planning,

4 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 5
project management, application development, analysis support and neighborhood GIS development and implementation. o The Jones Payne Group (http://www.jonespayne.com/index.php), an ESRI Business Partner with an office in Tucson and a multidisciplinary firm with a GIS Services Team focused on project and database management, and Internet application development. The GIS team is experienced in GIS programming and web-based GIS technologies. o Vaisala Inc (http://www.vaisala.com), an ESRI Business Partner with an office in Tucson that focuses on Atmospheric-Government Weather Services, Aviation-Aviation Safety, Public Safety-Emergency Management. o Statistical Research Inc (http://www.sricrm.com/index.html), a Tucson company focused on cultural resource management and historic preservation. The Assistant Director, and Director of the Cartography and Geospatial Technologies Department, Stephen A. McElroy, Ph.D., has taught courses at the University of Arizona’s School of Geography and Development.
Teachers in the program would be offered professional development opportunities and an ESRI Education Development Center (EDC) proposal would be written to take advantage of EDC’s benefits.6 We will assist long term FAs to obtain, or maintain, their Geographic Information Systems Professional (GISP) certification (http://www.gisci.org/). The philosophy behind incentives related to University of Arizona staff members and FAs is to provide them a sense of ownership and pride in the proposed degree and certificate and make them feel valued members of this learning community. University of Arizona staff members and FAs should never be considered “part-time” instructors but be given additional incentives that not only make them feel integral to the degree and certificate but encourage them to maintain high teaching standards, think creatively to help keep the degree and certificate current with the every-changing geospatial technology industries, and aid graduate students in job placement. Differential Learning Pedagogic Practices The fast paced and integrative nature of the MS in GIST and the new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS requires teachers to practice differential learning pedagogies. When a student it absent for any legitimate reason, especially for an extended period of time, their absence affects their ability to complete a course and can have greater consequences as courses build upon knowledge gained from previous courses. This is where creating a learning community has its advantages in that it promotes more frequent interaction and enables students and teachers to work together to remedy the situation. Teachers must be both professional and flexible and “recognize, value, and adapt to the diversity of student learning styles and needs in their community.”7 Second, differential learning pedagogy relates to the level of skills a student has in geographic information systems technology upon entering the program. As the degree
6 http://www.esri.com/industries/university/edc/ 7 http://www.abor.asu.edu/4_special_programs/lce/guiding_prin.htm
5 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 6
and certificate would have no prerequisites in prior work in GIST, student entry skill levels will vary greatly. Having an excellent teacher in the first class of the fall semester is essential as this class provides the foundational knowledge that will guide students throughout their degree or certificate. A teaching assistant is essential in the fall semester (if enrollment exceeds 12 students), as those lacking in skills will require additional assistance, which can place a disproportionate demand on a single teacher and may lessen the initial bonding experience required to create a healthy learning community. Again, this is where creating a learning community can be of value, as the more experienced students can assist the less experienced students with their background deficiencies. Finally, differential learning pedagogy is based on the assumption that no one instructional model is appropriate in every circumstance. Our integrative and intensive program will provide learning opportunities that optimize the prospect for quality student-faculty and peer-to-peer interactions in support of learning.8
Active Cooperative Learning The creation of a learning community using differential learning pedagogy practices will promote the sharing of information and knowledge between students and teachers, encourage cooperative and innovative approaches to education, and advance life-long learning beyond formal education.9 Central to the MS in GIST and the new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS is a pedagogic philosophy that promotes deep learning, i.e., critical analysis that links already known concepts and principles to problem solving in unfamiliar contexts.10 Deep learning positions students at the center of decision-making processes and requires their active learning in problem-based, technology- delivered education. A focus on active cooperative learning does not rely on lectures or textbook based pedagogy. This further reinforces learner-centered education practices by constructing settings that foster a dialogue among learners.
Outcomes and Assessment Through a focus on learner-centered education practices, the MS in GIST and the new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS will emphasize “the direct involvement of learners in activities that produce deeper understanding of the content through the development of skills that are readily transferable to life and work.”11 Our proposed integrative curriculum achieves student learning outcomes that can be assessed by meaningful, objective and measurable goals that focus on active learning and problem- based learning.

Required Courses
Fall Courses Credits No. of Weeks Course Title 4 5.3 Fundamentals of GIST 4 5.3 Geostatistics and Spatial Modeling 4 5.3 Applied GIST
The first fall semester will consist of three, four credit-hour classes. These courses would be required of the MS in GIST and the new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS. The first course, Fundamentals of GIST, would be taught by a tenure-track faculty member who will also be the Program Director (this sets the stage for the formation of the learning community as it establishes and promotes interpersonal connections between students and the Program Director, who will also serve as the students’ primary advisor and practicum supervisor). Both SGD and SNRE already have strengths in this first course through regularly offered courses: RNR/GEOG 503: Applications of Geographic Information Systems and RNR/GEOG 517: Geographic Information Systems for Natural and Social Sciences. Course content will build on these strengths but with an applied- professional rather than graduate student-research focus.
The second course, Geostatistics and Spatial Modeling, moves to an intermediate skill level of geographic information systems and technology. The University of Arizona already has existing strengths in this area, with topical material similar to the following courses: RNR/GEOG 520: Advanced Geographic Information Systems; GEOG 553: Advanced Locational Theory; RNR/GEOG 573: Spatial Analysis and Modeling; GEOG 574G: Introduction to Geostatistics; and GEOG 657: Spatial Analysis.
The third and final course of the fall semester, Applied GIST, focuses on advanced normative and scientific geographic problem solving through applied projects. This course draws from the “Active Cooperative Learning” pedagogic principles. The University of Arizona already has existing strengths in this area through the following courses: GEOG/RNR 516A: Computer Cartography; GEOG/RNR 516E: Geovisualization; RNR/GEOG 519: Cartographic Modeling for Natural Resources; and GEOG/RNR 516C: Urban Geographic Information Systems. While GEOG/RNR 516C includes a problem-based learning component, some of the material in this course is more appropriately linked to the proposed spring semester class, Urban and Environmental GIST. Further, while GEOG/RNR 516A and GEOG 516E constitute one area of the Applied GIST course, it is not the central focus of that course. The focus of this course is to integrate the educational knowledge obtained in the fall semester.
7 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 8
Spring Courses
Credits No. of Weeks Course Title 3 4 Fundamentals of Remote Sensing 3 4 GIST Programming 3 4 Web-Based GIST 3 4 Urban and Environmental GIST
The spring semester would consist of four, three credit-hour classes. These courses would be required of the MS in GIST. The first course would focus on the fundamental science and application of remote sensing technology. The University of Arizona has an extremely robust and interdisciplinary remote sensing series of courses. The “Fundamentals of Remote Sensing” course would be similar to the content of courses such as: GEOG 524: Integrated Geographic Information Systems; GEOG/RNR 583: Geographic Applications of Remote Sensing; and REM/GEOG 590: Remote Sensing for the Study of Planet Earth. For this course, we will seek collaboration with colleagues in the Remote Sensing & Spatial Analysis (REM) Graduate Interdisciplinary Program.
A unique feature of the program will be two courses not currently offered at the University of Arizona: GIST programming and Web-Based GIST. Both GIST programming and Web-based GIST are highly sought after skills in the geospatial workforce. Students with GIST programming and web-based GIST skills find better paying jobs in a shorter period of time. According to the United States Department of Labor, when it comes to the geospatial technology industry, “generally speaking, the more education you have, the higher your wage.”12 Web-based geographic information systems technology has advanced significantly since the release of Google Earth in 2005. The Web-Based GIST course integrates skills learned in the GIST Programming class and is fundamentally linked to digital human interface design for software interfaces, intranets and the Internet. Software used in web-based GIST includes Adobe® Flex® Builder™, application programming interface (API), Microsoft Silverlight, ArcGIS Web Application Developer Framework (ADF) for the Microsoft .NET; and, especially ArcServer and ArcSDE server technology. Programming languages and skills in GIST include creating algorithms, programming with ArcObjects, Visual Basic and VBA, Java, C++, Python, html and xml, and producing geospatial mashups.
The final course of the spring semester focuses on problem-based learning for the public and corporate sectors related to Urban and Environmental GIST. The University of Arizona already has existing strengths in this area, with some topical material paralleling that in the following courses: GEOG/RNR 516C: Urban Geographic Information Systems; GEOG/RNR 516D: PPGIS: Participatory Approaches in Geographic Information Science; GEOG 553: Advanced Location Theory; GEOG/RNR 524: Integrated Geographic Information Systems; RNR/GEOG 522: Resource Mapping; RNR 527: Artificial Intelligence in Resource Management; and GEOG/RNR 584: Fire

Mapping. This course integrates the educational knowledge obtained in the spring semester.
Summer Course
Credits No. of Weeks Course Title 3 8 GIST Internship 3 8 GIST Practicum
The MS in GIST would include two three credit summer courses: a GIST Internship and a GIST practicum. Both courses would deploy learner-centered education practices that focus on problem-based learning. The Program Director would serve as the practicum supervisor for all students in the MS in GIST degree. Further, the Program Director would assist all students in obtaining an internship in GIST. For the GIST practicum, students would be required to formulate a short proposal that addresses a specific geographic problem, the availability of data sources to address the problem, and a plan of action outlining methods and analysis. The plan would have specific milestones so that the practicum is completed on time. The plan’s approval will be granted only if the Program Director believes the problem can be addressed within the given timeline and that data is available to address the problem. This initial iterative process will be done in person, at the spring GIST Practicum “colloquium” and through individual consultation. A due date will be set late in the spring semester for proposal submission. If a student finds that their proposed project is unmanageable due to data or time constraints, the Program Director will work with the student to determine an appropriate project. Students can work on projects with other faculty or staff at the University of Arizona, with FAs who teach in the program, with their employer, or with employers from the regional GIST industry. In all cases, the Program Director remains the practicum supervisor.
Deliverables for the final GIST Practicum include a written paper and a 15 minute presentation. Students can work in teams on a project if permission is given and the workload of each student on the project is clearly defined.

A written summary and a presentation is required that answers the geographic problem, addresses methods and analysis used, and presents results in text, graphic, multimedia animation, and mapped form.
F. REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCREDITATION
There is no agency that oversees accreditation of geographic information systems technology programs.
The Master’s of Science in Geographic Information Systems Technology, and if needed the new tract for the Graduate GIS Certificate Program, will use an assessment plan that will meet the University of Arizona and the Arizona Board of Regents expectations regarding regional and national accreditation.
Our assessment plan includes both a program level matrix and a student outcome matrix. The assessment plan would begin in the first year of operation, providing it meets the approval of the University of Arizona and the Arizona Board of Regents.
Our student outcomes, performance criterion, and measures are clearly related to school and college missions, are observable and use direct measures, are expressed as program- level learning outcomes for graduates from the MS in GIST and, if needed, the new tract for the Graduate GIS Certificate. The focus on measuring student performance is based on evidence of student learning rather than the act of completing an assignment.
II. STUDENT LEARNING OUTCOMES AND ASSESSMENT
Student learning outcome 1: Graduates of the Master’s of Science in Geographic Information Systems Technology will be able to use geographic technologies to solve a geographic problem. Student learning measures for outcome 1: Applied GIST course presentation and GIST practicum final project. Student learning performance criterion for outcome 1: At least 80% of the students will perform at or above a satisfactory level. For the GIST certificate, only the Applied GIST course would be used.
Student learning outcome 2: Graduates of the Master’s of Science in Geographic Information Systems Technology will be able to present geographic information orally and graphically. Student learning measures for outcome 2: Applied GIST course presentation and GIST practicum final project presentation. Student learning performance criterion for outcome 2: At least 80% of the students will perform at or
13 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 14
above a satisfactory level. For the GIST certificate, only the Applied GIST course would be used.
Our student assessment matrix focuses on two fundamental skills that underlie the foundational pedagogic philosophy of the proposed programs. Our rubric for measuring student learning outcomes is based on the following quantifiable scale: 1. Undeveloped 2. Developing 3. Satisfactory 4. Outstanding This scale relates to student learning outcomes, performance criteria, and direct measures rather than directly relating it to course or project grades. Undeveloped is defined as a student who performed well below the expected measure, and did not master the learning outcomes. Developing is defined as a student who performed below the expected measure, showed some mastery of the learning outcomes, but their overall performance was still in a developmental stage. Satisfactory is defined as a student who performed at the expected measure of the learning outcomes. Outstanding is defined as a student who performed above the expected measure, showed that they had not only mastered the learning outcomes, but surpassed the expectations of the learning outcomes.
The program assessment plan will draw from three levels: (1) a written student evaluation of the program; (2) an external advisory board of public and private geographic information systems technology experts; (3) an inter-departmental review of the program. Upon completion of their degree requirements, students will be asked to complete a program evaluation form. Students will be able to remain anonymous in this evaluation. An active and engaged employer advisory board will be established by the Program Director. This advisory board will meet at least once a year to review the programs curriculum and provide general programmatic advice. Follow the student evaluations and advisory board meeting, an inter-departmental review of the program will be conducted by the School of Natural Resources and the Environment (CALS) and the School of Geography and Development (SBS). This review will examine information provided by students, the advisory board, and student outcomes. This review will also keep track of enrollment and degrees and attempt to track the employment history of every graduate to help assess program outcomes and success. The Program Director will oversee the program assessment and student assessment.
III. STATE’S NEED FOR THE PROGRAM
In 2005, the Arizona Geographic Information Council (AGIC) produced a report on the state of Geographic Information Systems in the state.13 The report stated that organizations across the state have become more aware of the use and advantages of geographic information systems technology to perform routine takes, and to take advantage of existing databases to enhance operations and improve both daily decision- making and long-term planning. According to the report, “GIS is being used successfully by hundreds of Arizona organizations in diverse areas such as emergency response,

14 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 15 homeland security, infrastructure and economic management, wildfire management and response, drought planning, industrial permitting, demographic analysis, regional planning, and public health” (page 3).
The report goes on to show how geographic information systems technology is used throughout the state of Arizona to maintain safe nuclear power, identify wildfire hazards, respond to emergencies, monitor water needs, fight air pollution, determine legislative districts, map crime, provide public information, stop illegal dumping, project community growth, and track health risks, among other areas. Critical activities within the State of Arizona such as border security, pipeline safety, disaster response, wildfire management, subsidence monitoring, highway construction, flood control, growth planning, and infrastructure management require accurate geographic information (page 49). Furthermore, on December 17, 2003 the federal government enacted the “Homeland Security Presidential Directive 7: Critical Infrastructure Identification, Prioritization, and Protection” policy.14 This national policy requires the identification of critical infrastructure that might be prone to terrorist attacks. This directive requires federal, state, and local agencies to play an active role in identifying critical infrastructure, a project that relies on geographic information systems technology.
Established by Arizona’s Executive Order 89-24, AGIC serves as the “oversight group for geographic information and geographic information technology issues and coordination efforts”15. According to AGIC’s 2005 report “GIS has emerged as an important communication, coordination and analysis resource for the state of Arizona” (page 4). AGIC’s oversight extends into a number of areas that require skilled geographic information systems technology specialists including: District Boundaries: Redistricting, drawing school attendance zones, drawing voting precincts, and urban planning. Elevation: Delineating watersheds, flood modeling, slope determination, tower placement, utilities planning, viewshed calculation and the creation of digital ortho-imagery. Geodetic Control: Used to collate and update accurate positions of survey markers that delineate property and district boundaries. It also maintains and updates the state’s spatial accuracy information with the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). Executive Order 12906, signed by President Bill Clinton on April 11, 1994, launched the initiative to create the NSDI and the project is overseen by the Federal Geographic Data Committee.16 Geographic Names: Supports emergency management and critical infrastructure mapping. Geology: Groundwater monitoring and planning, infrastructure planning and construction, pollution modeling and remediation, ecological inventories, mineral resource utilization, geologic hazard assessment and mitigation. Imagery: General mapping, detecting land cover changes, zoning applications, property appraisals, environmental analysis, feature identification, and many other

uses. Imagery provides an economical tool for developing and updating transportation, land ownership, and other themes. Land Cover: Used in fire fighting, watershed management, fire prevention planning, bark-beetle monitoring, drought and wildfire management, forest health monitoring, environmental inventory, and municipal planning. Land Ownership: Notification to property owners of flood potential, transportation right-of-way planning, and many other uses. GIS conversion of manual parcel records has been shown to increase property tax receipts through identification of “missing” ownership parcels and through more accurate appraisals. Potential users include county appraisal districts, Emergency 911, city planning and public works departments, the Division of Emergency Management, the Arizona Department of Transportation, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Land Use: Used for emergency E911 response planning, services distribution, regional growth analysis, urban and rural area planning, open space identification, code violation identification, zoning issues, and general map production. Political Boundaries: Emergency E911 response planning, services distribution, growth analysis/urban planning, Public/Private Land inventory, jurisdictional determination, and general map production. Soils: Used for land appraisal, site selection, agriculture, construction, transportation planning, flood control, and estimation of groundwater contamination susceptibility. Surface Water: Water resource planning, land use planning, flood control, agriculture, and urban planning. Transportation: Urban and regional planning, disaster preparedness, service delivery, E-911 emergency response planning, travel, zoning, and general map reference. Arizona Preparedness: border and homeland security, extended drought, wildfire, flooding, and other threats to the state’s safety and security.
Recognizing the importance of GIS to the State of Arizona, Governor Jan Brewer signed Senate Bill 1318 (SB1318) into law on July 10, 2009. The measure strengthens GIS in the state and allows for more effective operations by facilitating geospatial data sharing for the benefit of GIS organizations, while also ensuring data protection for supplying organizations. Key provisions of SB1318 include: make sharing between public agencies less cumbersome by eliminating the need to do specific agreements to share data; provide liability protection for data sharing; make data sharing between public agencies and the private sector easier by allowing commercial fees to be optional rather than mandatory; provide protection from public release of shared critical infrastructure data; provide for agencies to restrict the redistribution of data to other agencies; and, place more emphasis on data sharing, clearinghouse and enterprise GIS concepts.17
Along with AGIC, geographic information systems technology is central to the following state agencies:

16 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 17
The Arizona Land Resource Information System (ALRIS) which supports the statewide use of GIS by developing and managing GIS hardware and software and provides education and consultation to public agencies in the use of GIS technology. In order to decrease total costs for GIS in Arizona, ALRIS creates and maintains key data sets commonly used by public agencies and acts as a clearinghouse for digital spatial data in Arizona.18 The State Cartographer’s Office (SCO) serves the Arizona GIS community by coordinating GIS standards and policies, overseeing the development of common projects, providing web-based information services, establishing clearinghouse information about data resources, improving access to GIS databases, and supporting the Arizona Geographic Information Council.19
In a recent article in the Arizona Economy (Eller College of Management, the University of Arizona) William P. Patton, PhD, posits that Arizona ranks 18th for high-tech jobs, firms and investments in the United States. According to Patton, “in 2007, high-tech industries employed 278,700 workers, accounting for 11% of total employment in Arizona. While high-tech accounted for 11% of employment, high-tech industries contributed $20.3 billion to payrolls, 18% of the total payroll for all industries in 2007. The average wage for all high-tech industries combined is 75% higher than the average wage for all industries. In 2007, the average annual wage for high-tech industries was $72,700 vs. $41,600 for all industries”.20 Patton identifies three firms that are essential to Arizona’s high-tech economy, two of which (aerospace, and control instruments) intersect with skills offered in advanced education in geographic information systems and technology. He notes that “the future of economic development in Arizona is going to be heavily impacted by the state’s ability to attract, retain, expand and start up high tech industry” and that “emerging technologies will involve heavy emphasis on science and engineering occupations”. Furthermore, environmental technology, renewable energy, water resource management, and “green” or sustainable industries could play a significant role in Arizona’s economy in the future, all of which will require personnel trained in geographic information systems and technology. Patton concludes that “the most important of the location factors for high tech firms is to have a highly skilled and educated workforce in the region. Since their workforce is critically important to the success of high tech businesses, they like to locate in areas with strong universities that can produce educated employees. The also like to locate in urban areas with a good overall quality of life. This helps them to retain workers who might otherwise move elsewhere.” These conclusions support the need for a Master’s of Science in Geographic Information Technology as the two essential locational factors for high tech firms make Tucson an optimal choice.

A. FULFILLING THE NEEDS OF THE STATE AND REGION
The University of Arizona is the only public four year university in Arizona to not have a Master’s degree in Geographic Information Systems Technology. The proposed Master’s degree would contribute to Tucson’s economy through advancing research and economic development at the University of Arizona, providing a well-trained geospatial workforce to the region’s transportation and logistics industry, control systems industries, high-tech industries, manufacturing and IT, E-learning, environmental technologies, optics, local military operations, and military and aerospace industries such as the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, the U.S. Army Intelligence Center (Fort Huachuca), the U.S. Border Patrol, Raytheon Missile Systems Company, BE Aerospace, Kaman Aerospace Corporation, Paragon Space Development Corporation, Sargent Controls & Aerospace, Honeywell Aerospace, Hamilton Aerospace, Mac Aerospace, Bombardier, and Learjet Inc.21
According to Southern Arizona’s High Tech Connection, “Southern Arizona is a regional leader in the knowledge-based economy” with “more than 1,000 high-tech industry companies employing in excess of 30,000 people and generating annual revenues greater than $7.0 billion.” The proposed MS degree program would forge an alliance with the Southern Arizona Tech Council (SATC) to assist in effectively training students for high-tech jobs.22 Furthermore, the proposed degree program would be focused on training and re-training public sector employees in Southern Arizona’s counties, cities and federal agencies.
B. IS THERE SUFFICIENT STUDENT DEMAND FOR THE PROGRAM?
There is a regional, state, national, and global need for highly skilled geospatial professionals – training which would be obtained through the proposed MS degree in GIST and the new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS. An analysis of the current academic market for Master’s in GIS shows that these needs are currently not being met (see below). Moreover, it should be noted that the current Graduate Certificate in GIS is the most popular of all graduate certificate programs offered by the UA Graduate College. This leads us to believe that the proposed MS degree will be very popular, growing to our projected annual maximum number of students of 30 within a few years.
A cost comparison of Master’s in GIS in the United States at Carnegie Doctoral/Research Universities-Extensive reveals that the University of Arizona would have the lowest in state tuition, and the lowest non-online out of state tuition in the United States.

Carnegie Doctoral/Research Universities-Extensive are prestigious institutions from which to a gain graduate degree. Given time and an aggressive advertisement campaign, the University of Arizona will be positioned to become the leader in the non-online Master’s in GIS and Post-Baccalaureate GIS certificate market. An advertisement campaign would focus on the unique integrative and professionally focused aspects of the program, the low costs for both in state and out of state tuition, the condensed timeline, and the fact that students would be coming to the leading public research university in the American Southwest, live in an extraordinary location with an unmatched natural setting and thriving, amenity-rich city well positioned for exponential high tech industrial growth.
A Master’s of Science from a Carnegie Doctoral/Research Universities-Extensive is more desirable as it adds credibility to a student seeking employment in the geospatial workforce. The new tract for the Graduate Certificate in GIS will encourage students to enroll in the MS in GIST as they will have already finished 50% of their credit hours towards a MS in GIST degree.

A 2004 article in Nature: International Weekly Journal of Science highlighted the growing need for geographic information systems technology programs to fill the ever expanding geospatial industry.23 According to this article, “The demand for geospatial skills is growing worldwide” and “all indications are that the US$5-billion worldwide geospatial market [in 2004] will grow to $30 billion by 2005 — a dramatic increase that is sure to create new jobs, according to Emily DeRocco, assistant secretary at the US Department of Labor's employment and training division.” Furthermore, NASA reports says that “26% of its most highly trained geotech staff are due to retire in the next decade, and the National Imagery and Mapping Agency [now known as the National Geospatial Intelligence Agency] is expected to need 7,000 people trained in GIS in the next three years.” The article sites that globally there are over 140,000 organizations that use GIS. Also, “a ten-year industry forecast [2003-2013] put together by the American Society for Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing (ASPRS) identified environmental, civil government, defense and security, and transportation as the most active market segments” for geospatial employment. One company, Space Imaging, “increased by 70% last year” (2003). Furthermore, “the US military, the first industry to adopt GIS and remote sensing on a large scale, has spent more than $1 billion on commercial remote sensing and GIS in the past two years” (2002-2003), and this number will increase due to homeland security and immigration issues, intelligence and security geographic information needs at the local, national, and global levels, and the two ongoing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan which depend on geographic information systems technology.
According to the United States Department for Labor, geospatial technologies is an “emerging industry” with vast potential for job growth as the industry expands, evolves, and diversifies.24 The Department of Labor, using Bureau of Labor Statistics, projects future trends over a ten year period for occupations where new growth is determined to be the greatest. Based on projected employment needs for the geospatial technology industry, 29 different occupational fields will have to fill 1,191,000 jobs during the period of 2006-2016. Data obtained from the most prominently used GIS job website (the GIS Jobs Clearinghouse, http://www.gjc.org/gjc-cgi/listjobs.pl), shows that from 1/4/2002 through 8/1/2009 there were 13,872 job postings. Just in the last two months (10/19/2009 - 12/16/2009) the GIS Jobs Clearinghouse had 100 job postings. Nearly all GIS Jobs Clearinghouse postings are non-academic positions. Those that are academically oriented focus on research positions or community college teaching. The September/October 2009 Urban and Regional Information Systems Association (URISA) Newsletter examined a current report by Daratech Inc. on the current state of the geospatial industry. Daratech found that there was a robust 11% compound annual growth rate over the last six years, and they estimated that this rate of growth would continue in 2010.

20 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 21
Furthermore, Daratech found that even as public sector jobs have been hard hit by the recession, geospatial technology sales to this sector grew by 4.1% or roughly $957 million in 2009.
Over the last 10 years, a number of Masters and certificate programs in geospatial information technology in the United States have been created to fill the employment demands of this rapidly growing industry. The quality of these programs varies greatly, with community colleges and Carnegie-classified Master’s Colleges and Universities mainly offering certificates, and with the Master’s market largely being dominated by institutions with Carnegie Doctoral/Research Universities-Extensive designations. However, student demand for certificates and Master’s vary regionally, and nearly all have failed to capture the attention of the international market.
Much of the educational training in non-online GIScience is integrated within existing degree programs (e.g., geography, natural resources), which limits revenue generation as well as popularity in the professional arena. The two largest stand alone Master’s in Geospatial Information Systems Technology in terms of student enrollment include the University of Redlands and Arizona State University. The University of Redlands takes on 30 students per year and their attrition rate is high. It is designed to run two years, but many take three years to finish, a problem that extends costs and increases attrition rates. Redlands does have advantages over other programs, the most significant of which is their regional ties with industry software leader ESRI. However, it is a private school with high fees and a high cost of living, and does not enjoy a Carnegie Doctoral/Research Universities-Extensive designation.
Arizona State University rolled out a Master’s of Advanced Study in Geographic Information Systems in 2004. This is a one year Master’s degree and does not require a GRE, or thesis. Over six years, student enrollment has ranged between 17 and 32 students.25 Similar to Redlands, 30 to 32 students are considered the maximum number
25 http://geoplan.asu.edu/files/MASGIS_1209.pdf
21 Implementation - Unique Program - Page 22 that can be effectively managed in a Master’s in GIST. ASU’s program has a 96% graduation rate, draws out of state and international students, even though their out of state tuition plus program fees are high.26 ASU and Redlands have shown that the non- online Master’s program market is not being met, especially for international and out of state students as they continue to maintain high enrollment even with high tuition costs and a global recession. ASU’s one year program has proven that a shortened timeline lowers attrition rates and maintains steady enrollment. In our analysis of the current Master’s for GIST in the United States, we have sought to create a proposal that takes advantages of the strengths of existing programs of SGD and SNRE, as well as the exceptional opportunities afforded by the University of Arizona and Tucson.

IV. APPROPRIATENESS FOR THE UNIVERSITY
The proposed program is central to key elements of ABOR 2020 and the University of Arizona Strategic Plan, including:
Training Arizona’s workforce for economically diverse, high paying jobs; Training that will help improve the quality of life in Arizona; Enhancing lifetime earnings among graduates; Increasing the number of graduate degree holders in Arizona; Increasing workforce flexibility; Improved ability for workforce to appreciate and adopt new technologies; Improved curricular alignment; More licenses, spin-offs, and venture capital investment; Enhancing cooperative partnerships between the private and public sector; Providing better solutions to society’s problems; Increased national and international recognition for the University; Improve community outreach; Awarding more degrees in high demand areas; Producing degrees more efficiently without sacrificing quality.

A. EXISTING PROGRAMS IN ARIZONA
1. For a unique (non-Duplicative) program, provide a statement to the effect that there are no existing programs at other Arizona public universities that duplicate the proposed program.
The Master’s of Advance Study in Geographic Information Systems at ASU uses CIP CODE: 45.0701. The Applied Geographic Information Science (MS) at Northern Arizona uses CIP Code 45.07.02. However, this degree is scheduled this year to be merged with the Master of Arts in Rural Geography to form the new degree Master of Science in Applied Geospatial Sciences.27 Furthermore, while ASU does offer a one year Master’s program like our proposed program, it is limited to producing roughly 30 students per year. Given the statewide, national, and international demand for GIST professionals discussed above, we are confident that our program can exist side by side with ASU’s without harming their enrollments.
B. OTHER INSTITUTIONS
None of the private universities in that state of Arizona offer a Master’s degree in Geographic Information Systems Technology. This includes Yavapai College, Thunderbird School of Global Management, Grand Canyon University, Prescott College, and The University of Phoenix.

Computer Experience 04/08 – present Senior Java Developer, Tony French Systems, Ltd., Highland, KS Maintenance and enhancement of web sites based on a legacy version of MarketLive. Much of this is JSP at its grungiest, with 100's of lines of embedded Java code. I refactor where time and requirements allow and hack where they don't. This is old school seat of the pants programming: exasperating but refreshing in a twisted sort of way. Also a great deal of Javascript programming. I've been introducing jQuery whenever possible. Some SQL Server and .NET development with C# as well.
02/08 – present Senior Research Specialist, Dept. of Geography and Regional Development/Arizona Remote Sensing Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ Developing various geographic web applications, including presentation of ESRI shapefiles over Google Maps using Drupal and GeoServer on the server-side and OpenLayers and jQuery on the client. This hourly, as needed, position is providing great experience in these open source applications as well as Javascript and PHP.
10/06 – 1/08 Senior IT Engineer/Software Engineer, Contivo, Inc. San Jose, CA Contivo was a small company developing sophisticated database integration tools and services.
