A capstone course designed to complete the GIS Certificate Program by integrating the students’ prior training in the application of computer based manipulation and spatial analysis of data through the use of geographic information systems programs in on-site applied work settings. Students will be given applied experiences in selected public or private organizations in the community or in campus-related programs to make use of their GIS training. Students are expected to find their own practicum, which require the program coordinator’s approval. GIS Majors should enroll in GEOG 3398.
A structured off-campus experience in a supervised setting that is related to the student’s major and career interests. Practical experience is combined with scholarly research under the guidance of geography faculty and the internship supervisor. Those seeking experience in a GIS environment will work under the guidance of the GIS Program Director. Sites must be selected in advance of the semester of the internship and must be approved by the student’s advisor or internship coordinator. Note: GIS certificate students please sign up for GEOG 4415 and not this course.
