The Center for Geospatial Information Science (CGIS) is focused on enriching the undergraduate and graduate student education and research experience through a mixture of research and education.

Most Geographers choose geography because they are interested in multi-disciplinary studies. Geography is unique in that it offers students a chance to learn about many different phenomena from multiple perspectives.

The Center for Geospatial Information Science runs a series of summer/winter workshops focused on advancing students' skill-sets in the latest techniques, topics, and technologies in GIS.
