Environmental Remote Sensing & Image Analysis (Minor)

This minor provides graduate students the opportunity to develop a recognized academic credential in remote sensing and image analysis in conjunction with their major program of graduate study. Twelve credit hours, 6 credit hours of required courses and 6 credit hours of elective courses, is required to complete the minor. 

Other Requirements

A GIST graduate faculty member must be on the student’s graduate committee. A list of currently approved faculty members can be provided to students upon request. If no graduate committee is required by the student’s program, the student must obtain approval of his or her minor program. Students enrolled in Option B Masters programs are not eligible to declare a minor. Certificate coursework and Minor coursework must be completely independent.
