专业概况

在这里学什么？

Geospatial information sciences (GIS) harness groundbreaking technologies for Spatial Big Data Analytics that make location and interaction key to our understanding of social and environmental dynamics. GIS graduates will master the knowledge and skills to spatially integrate data and computing resources for informed decision-making in environmental modeling, business intelligence, precision agriculture, smart cities, public safety and community resilience, just to name a few.

Recent technological innovations have greatly enhanced our ability to collect and analyze massive environmental, social and economic data about places as well as individuals. Now more than ever before, unmanned aviation vehicles (UAV) equipped with remote sensors provide near-real time imagery whenever they are needed. LiDAR point clouds enable us to build high-resolution 3D models of buildings, trees and terrains. Location-based services and mobile geospatial apps allow us to search information based on proximity to our locations and connect our social networks in both physical and cyberspaces.

Careers in Geospatial Information Sciences

GIS graduates will encounter a wide variety of career options, as businesses and governments race to take advantage of technological advances. They may work in areas such as public administration, smart cities, transportation planning, geospatial intelligence, emergency response, public health and environmental sustainability. Businesses also recruit GIS graduates, especially companies focused on marketing, site selection, logistics, driverless cars, real estate, internet of things and resource exploration (including petroleum).

Students who graduate with a BS may move on to graduate school, perhaps entering UT Dallas’ highly regarded MS or PhD geospatial programs, which were recently ranked among the top five in the nation. The University’s Career Center is an important resource for students pursuing their career.

Geospatial Information Sciences at UT Dallas

The general BS degree requires 120 hours to graduate: 42 hours from the University’s core curriculum, 39 hours from the major, and 39 semester credit hours of electives.

The general BS degree requires 120 hours to graduate: 42 hours from the University’s core curriculum, 30 hours from the major core, 24 hours of public policy courses and 24 hours of free electives. Students must complete a minor within these free elective hours. The School of Economic, Political and Policy Sciences offers a 21-hour Public Policy minor and an 18-hour minor in Science, Technology, and Policy.

Fast Track

The Fast Track program enables exceptionally gifted UT Dallas students to include master’s level courses in their undergraduate degree plans. Students who meet the requirements for admission to graduate school and the minimum GPA requirement for their major can take up to 15 hours of graduate level coursework that can apply toward their undergraduate and graduate level coursework. To take graduate courses in the Fast Track program upper-division undergraduates must have completed 90 semester credit hours and petition their associate dean for permission to take graduate courses.
