The thesis emphasis is designed for students who want to pursue a career in applying geographic information science and systems, as well as remote sensing technologies to land and environmental management and related spatial data handling. Practicing professionals who desire an advance professional degree are encouraged to pursue this emphasis. The non-thesis emphasis is designed for students who want to pursue a career in understanding and managing land and environmental spatial data systems, including geographic information systems (GIS), and remote sensing applications The nonthesis option requires a professional applied paper that is overseen by your practicum committee.
