Geographic Information Systems Minor
To earn a minor in Geographic Information Systems, students must complete a minimum of 17 credit hours, including three core courses and a minimum of two elective courses. Students are expected to meet with an ENS academic advisor before beginning the minor. 400-level courses counted toward an undergraduate degree cannot be taken again and counted for credit toward a graduate degree at UIS.
Substitutions for any of these courses require a Student Petition and the approval of the GIS Director and the ENS Program Lead.
