Bachelor of Science in Geographic Information Science

Simon Fraser University

Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in GIS will allow you to display and analyze spatial data using geographic information system technologies. You will learn to create and interpret data in the form of maps, figures and models. GIScience combines computer cartography, remote sensing, spatial data analysis, spatial theory and geovisualization. Combining course work in geography and computing science, the Geographic Information Science (GIS) program will teach you to interpret and communicate spatial data and to build tools that can be used to help solve spatial problems (like improving access to health care, transportation services or schools, etc.). Learn to visualize data effectively, while building your technical and critical thinking skills.
