This tool not only analyzes spatial relationships and geographic data, it also helps researchers better understand complex data through visual displays. Through the 17- to 20-credit minor, you’ll learn how to harness GIS tools for solving real-world problems across fields like urban planning, environmental science and sustainability. Hands-on coursework will help you become proficient in spatial data collection, visualization and geographical analysis — all preparing you to meet the growing demand for spatial data expertise.</span></p>",
