3. Additional Requirements
A. A maximum of 3.0 units in MATH may be used towards the Certificate.
B. Only 3.0 units from GPHY 415 Advanced Analysis of Earth Surface Processes will be counted towards the Certificate in Geographic Information Science (GISC).
4. Notes
A. Students may do an independent study course (i.e., GPHY 501 Special Studies in Geography, GPHY 594 Independent Study or GPHY 595 Independent Study) with a faculty member in Geography and Planning on a geographic information science topic upon approval of the Undergraduate Committee. This course may be counted toward the Certificate as an option course with approval of the Undergraduate Committee.
B. Students must pass all courses relating to the Certificate with a GPA of 1.90, and must have completed their degree program requirements in order to receive the Certificate.
C. Students considering adding the Certificate in Geographic Information Science to their degree program should consult as soon as possible with the Department of Geography and Planning. The Certificate in Geographic Information Science will be awarded upon successful completion of a degree program at Queen’s University.
