Geospatial Information Technology

 

Geospatial Information Technology (GIT) takes the locations of our lives and maps them, utilizing methods and technology from Geography, Mathematics and Computer Science. SIPI’s GIT students learn skills to help them work in diverse fields, such as National Resources,Management, Business and Public Health. Our students work on exercises ranging from resource management to economic development to homeland security. SIPI’s GIT program prepares students to enter the workforce and to be leaders in their communities. The GIT program also offers research internships, where students research a wide range of topics.

SIPI’s Science and Technology building has state-of-the-art computer facilities, laboratories, and classrooms that provide an excellent teaching and learning environment for the GIT Program. Students learn to use the latest software and equipment when studying geographical information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), global environmental remote sensing.

 

Students, who enjoy science and computers, can make a significant difference and have a rewarding job by choosing a career in Geospatial Information Technology. Graduates could support efforts to conserve, manage and improve resources such as wildlife, fisheries, forests, rangelands, and water, or go to work for businesses analyzing their target markets, product distribution network, or financial lending patterns. SIPI students in GIT obtain a sound academic foundation and get extensive real-world experience.
