COURSE CURRICULUM

The Computer Science and Geographical Information Science (GIS) program includes a range of courses that combine computing skills with spatial data analysis and mapping technologies. Students begin with Fundamentals of Programming, which introduces core coding concepts and problem-solving techniques. Practical Software Development builds on this foundation by teaching how to design, develop, and maintain real-world software applications. Computer Graphics focuses on visual representation and modeling, helping students understand how to create and manipulate digital images and spatial data. Database Management Systems teaches how to store, organize, and manage large datasets efficiently, which is essential for handling geographic information. Geographical Information Systems introduces the principles of working with digital maps, spatial data, and geographic analysis tools used in various industries. Remote Sensing explores how data is collected from satellites and aerial systems to monitor and analyze environmental and geographical changes. Advanced Geographical Information System builds on earlier knowledge by focusing on complex spatial modeling, data integration, and advanced analytical techniques. Together, these courses provide a strong balance of technical and applied learning, enabling students to analyze geographic data using modern computing tools. The program prepares students for careers in geospatial technology, environmental analysis, urban planning, and data science, while also building skills in programming, data management, and spatial problem-solving.
