The MAS-GIS program is a compact one-year nonthesis degree program fostering advanced study in management and the use of GIS technology in public and corporate environments.The courses are held in the evenings during the week, the curriculum is highly adaptable to the work environment, and a MAS-GIS degree is achievable in a one-year time period.
