Bachelor of Science - Spatial Science
The bachelor of science degree program for spatial science offers two specialization tracks: natural resources, and land surveying.
Natural Resources
This track provides the opportunity to complete courses from a wide variety of disciplines, including forestry, environmental science, agriculture, biology, chemistry, geology and geography, to fulfill the requirement of a minor area of study and to enhance knowledge and skills in renewable natural resource conservation and sustainability.
Cultural Resources
This track allows students to explore the broad range of geospatial applications within the disciplines of liberal and applied arts. Students select a minor in any approved field of study such a geography, criminal justice, public health, communication studies, leadership, history, military science, sociology, marketing and more in order to address the needs in these broader fields using spatial science.
Land Surveying
This track ensures that a student whose career goal is to become a registered professional land surveyor obtains the educational background to become a candidate-in-training in surveying. GIS courses in the spatial science core are integrated with courses in the surveying study track to develop skilled, technologically up-to-date graduates.
