Overview
The Geomatics and GIS curriculum covers a wide range of geospatial principles. Students learn from industry professionals in areas of surveying, geodesy, mapping science and cartography, GNSS and GPS, photogrammetry, remote sensing, high-definition surveying, and relational GIS databases.
Program structure
Our program offers master’s degrees and a certificate awarded by the College of Engineering, Design and Computing. All courses are entirely online, as they have been for more than 20 years. However, master’s degree students have the option of taking some courses on the CU Denver campus from other programs such as geography or computer science.
Careers
The Geomatics Engineering and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) graduate program at the University of Colorado Denver prepares graduates for careers in industry and/or science. Students who complete the program have a comprehensive understanding in these disciplines, empowering them to advance their careers in geospatial engineering and analysis or to continue their research and further advance the science.
