At May graduation, NC\u00a0State will award two doctorates, 14 professional master\u2019s (MGIST) degrees and 23 graduate certificates to members of the Center for Geospatial Analytics community.\u00a0Congratulations to all of our students on their success!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Doctorate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our Geospatial Analytics Ph.D.<\/a> program unites departments across the university to train a new generation of interdisciplinary data scientists skilled in developing novel understanding of spatial phenomena and applying new knowledge to grand challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our MGIST<\/a> program equips students with the knowledge and tools to become geospatial professionals through a unique curriculum that leverages NC State\u2019s strengths in computational and data sciences and interdisciplinary training, in combination with professional skills development. The degree was designed to be completed entirely online, <\/strong>allowing flexibility for both students just entering the work force and those already established.

Graduate Certificate in Geospatial Information Science<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Our graduate certificate<\/a> provides students with a graduate level academic credential in advanced GIS applications. This program is designed for students who wish to establish themselves in GIS practice, enhance current skill sets or are not yet ready to commit to a full graduate program. The certificate<\/strong> can be completed entirely online <\/strong>and is also available to current NC State students enrolled in a non-GIS graduate degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
