The Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) program prepares you to become a specialist capable of advanced skills in GIS through a curriculum of four key competencies: spatial data acquisition, spatial data management, spatial analysis, and information presentation. The B.S. GIS differs from the B.A. GIS in that the B.S. GIS offers more advanced skills in GIS without the exposure to interdisciplinary applications contained in the B.A. GIS.
GIS is a spatial system that connects data to a map, integrating location data with all types of descriptive information. The demand for GIS professionals is increasing as GIS technology continues to yield benefits for virtually every field. With this degree from University of Redlands, you will harness the power of GIS to make maps that communicate, perform analysis, share information, and solve complex problems in the world around you. You can easily bridge your GIS skillset across many industries. GIS specialists are often employed by various levels of government, utilities, and in the private sector, including with our corporate partners at ESRI, the global leader in GIS headquartered locally in Redlands.
