Hi Everyone,
Please share with your students, colleagues, and anyone whom you think

The UMass Amherst Geography Program in the Department of Geosciences is
seeking applicants for the accelerated 1-year Masters in Geography -
Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIST) program for the
2020-2021 academic year.
The program is designed to provide a solid foundation and diverse set of
knowledge, skills and practices in geospatial technologies.
Highly-motivated students and professionals will emerge from the program
with applied experience and a broad GIS skillset applicable towards
diverse professional opportunities through rigorous coursework and
hands-on project opportunities. Core courses include Geographic
Information Systems (GIS), remote sensing, and spatial analysis with
optional course topics ranging from Cartographic Design and WebGIS to
geospatial database management and unmanned aerial systems (drones).
Students in this program have the opportunity to engage with the
background in the science, techniques, and application of geospatial
skills, enabling them to embark on a public or private sector career in
geography, planning, public policy, ecology, environmental science and
other fields. Coursework is undertaken in both the Fall and Spring
semesters with a required summer internship.
Courses in GIST at UMass-Amherst are offered at our Amherst campus and
