学生 studying geographic information science (地理信息系统) in the 地理研究生院 have multiple opportunities to conduct research and build their knowledge and skills. 来自这两条道路的学生 地理信息系统硕士 项目，与 International Development, Community and Environment (IDCE) Department，和 加速B.A./Master of Science Degree 程序 in 地理信息系统 (ADP MS-地理信息系统) — pursue and collaborate on similar research projects.
地理信息系统硕士项目研究
作为一名学生, you’ll work with faculty on research focused on biodiversity and conservation, 土地变化模拟, 森林监测和火灾动力学, 软件设计和系统开发, 决策科学, 保健和社区规划, 国际发展, 适应气候变化, 以及食品安全应用.
加速B的研究.A./M.S. 程序
如果你是加速B班的学生.A./M.S. degree program in 地理信息系统, you’ll choose one of two tracks:
- 实习跟踪: You’ll participate in an internship for in-field experience during both semesters of your graduate year to supplement your coursework. 了解更多地理信息系统学生实习情况…
- 研究跟踪: You’ll dive into your area of study through coursework and thesis writing, resulting in a completed master’s thesis at the end of the program.
Whether you are on the internship track or research track, you will have the opportunity for research in courses like the 野生动物保育地理信息系统研究研讨会 where you can assist the Wildlife Conservation Society with biodiversity projects across the globe, 磨练你的遥感能力, 地理信息系统, 以及生态研究技能.
