The Geospatial Technologies minor is designed to provide students with training in the applied skills and theory of geospatial science including, but not limited to: geographic information systems, remote sensing, autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles and their associated sensors.  The minor is an excellent accompaniment to a wide range of science, humanities, health, and business majors where spatiotemporal variations in one or more variables are of interest.

Requirements for a Minor in Geospatial Technologies:


Requires a minimum of 21 credit hours including 9 hours of core courses and 12 hours of electives. At least 6 hours of electives must be in courses at the 300 level or above.

Total: 9 credits


Additional Information:


If a student completes both GGY 215  and GGY 220 , GGY 215  will count toward the core requirements and GGY 220   will count as an elective.

Total: 12 credits


Additional Information:


Other courses may be applied toward the minor at the discretion of the Geospatial Technologies minor coordinator or the Chair of the Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences. Students must earn at least a “C” (2.00) average in courses counted toward the Geospatial Technologies minor. This minor is available for students majoring in any discipline including geography and geology. A maximum of 12 credit hours counted toward a student’s major may be applied toward completion of core or elective requirements in Geospatial Technologies.
