Master of Science with a Major in Spatial Information & Data Sciences

The Master of Science program in Spatial Information and Data Science (SIDS) is designed to prepare students for careers as statisticians, cartographers and photogrammetrists, computer and information research scientists, surveyors, and geoscientists. Start your graduate studies by earning one of our three graduate certificates and then use the certificate courses as electives in the SIDS program, or jump right into the Master of Science program.

The program fosters innovative scientists and researchers capable of advancing the frontiers of knowledge in spatial science and technology through cutting-edge theories and technologies, pioneering methodologies, sophisticated numerical analyses, and integrative applications.

Spatial data science can be applied in any field where data sets and geography intersect. These applications include disaster planning, emergency management, military intelligence, spatial data science and analytics, geodesign, modern and sustainable infrastructure planning, natural resource analysis and management, and mitigating issues associated with extreme weather events.

Not all programs are available to residents in all states. Please check the institution's State Authorization and Professional Licensure website(s) to ensure you reside in an authorized state.
