"description": "<p><span>If your career aspirations require analysis of spatial relationships and geography, the Geographic Information Systems (GIS) undergraduate certificate is your key to developing an understanding of GIS methodology and how to apply it in various contexts. The research tool is used by researchers in disciplines like anthropology, biology, environmental studies and political science to display data in a visual format. This makes it easier to understand complex data that can then be used to help make informed decisions. The 11- to 14-credit certificate is your opportunity to gain practical and analytical skills related to GIS data interpretation — all while gaining a head start on its real-world application in fields like urban planning, environmental management, and disaster preparedness and response.</span></p>",
