We have been a regional and national leader in Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) education for over forty years.

Driven by a strong commitment to provide quality instruction, our diverse faculty and broad curriculum offer students with in-depth understanding of important GIS conceptual foundations and methodologies while preparing them for careers at the forefront of the geospatial technology revolution. Combined with other faculty research in mountain studies and planning, along with strong collaborations from Forestry and Conservation, Geoscience, Rural American Studies, Anthropology, Public and Community Health Science, Business and Economics, and regional GIS communities, students gain a broad range of skills and job experience.
