G535: Introduction to Remote Sensing (3 cr.)
Nature and interpretation of remotely sensed data collected from field, airborne, and spaceborne sensors. Data from the visible, infrared, and microwave portions of the electromagnetic spectrum are discussed and analyzed from a geographic applications perspective. Visual, photogrammetric, digital image processing, and GIS interpretation approaches are presented.  For further information contact Dr. Jeffrey Wilson.

G537: Cartography and Graphics (3 cr.)
Compilation, design, production, and evaluation of maps and related graphic materials. Includes symbolization, color use guidelines, map typography, map animation and interactivity, and geographic visualization techniques.  Hard copy and internet-based outputs.  For further information contact Dr. Owen Dwyer.

G538: Introduction to Geographic Information Systems (3 cr.)
Overview of the principles and practices of geographic information systems (GIS). The course will deal with issues of spatial data models, spatial database design, introductory and intermediate GIS analysis operations, and case studies of real-world GIS applications. Laboratory exercises provide significant hands-on experience.  For further information contact Dr. Jeffrey Wilson.

G536: Advanced Remote Sensing (3 cr.)
Advanced remote sensing theory and digital image processing techniques with an emphasis on environmental science applications.  Hands-on computer exercises provide significant experience in digital image processing techniques for extraction of qualitative and quantitative information about Earth's terrestrial and aquatic environments.  Lecture and laboratory.  Prerequisite: G336 or equivalent. For further information contact Dr. Jeffrey Wilson.

G539: Advanced Geographic Information Systems (3 cr.)
Intermediate and advanced topics in geographic information science and spatial analysis using GIS software.  Advanced course for upper-division undergraduate and graduate students seeking greater understanding of GIS theory, technology, and applications.  Exercises focus on development, management, and analysis of GIS data.  Lecture and laboratory. Prerequisite: G338 or equivalent. For further information contact Dr. Rudy Banerjee.

G560 Internship in Geographic Analysis (1-4 cr.)
Faculty-directed study of geographical problems based on internship experience.  Area of placement must be related to field of Geographic Information Science.  Student may complete more than one internship but total credit hours cannot exceed four.  Prerequisites: Admission to MS GIS program and permission of major advisor.  For further information contact Dr. Jeffrey Wilson.

G588: Applied Spatial Statistics (3 cr.)
Extension of traditional statistical analysis to spatial data. Spatial means and spatial variances, the examination of differences in samples over space, spatial autocorrelation, nearest neighbor analysis, map comparison techniques. Emphasis on practical applications with GIS technologies.  Prerequisite: 6 credits in geography or consent of instructor. or further information contact Dr. Rudy Banerjee.

G639: Seminar in Geographic Information Science (3 cr.)
Applications of geographic information science principles in the collection and analysis of spatial data.  Integration of GIS, remote sensing, and GPS technologies.  Review of current literature on techniques, theory, technology, and applications with an emphasis on environmental topics.
