*Message sent from a system outside of UConn.* Hello everyone, Please share with your students, colleagues, and anyone whom you think may be interested: 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 2021-2022 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 the Mt. Ida campus in Newton, MA, in addition to being offered remotely and asynchronously. We're biased, but we think it's a great program, having graduated almost 40 students since 2018.
