New Major Added

The College of Atmospheric and Geographic Sciences began offering a new major, geoinformatics, this fall. It has already signed 12 students to its program.

Geoinformatics offers a bachelor of arts and bachelor of science. The major is an emerging field, which focuses on computer based skills in comparison to people and geospatial data.

One great advantage our majors will have is that we work very closely with the research center for spatial analysis, Melissa Scott Brown, assistant director of research and education said. This gets them the experience they need to be successful in the real world.

Graduate degrees are in the planning stages for the program.
