Who Should Enroll in the Online GIS Certificate Program?

• Those interested in learning both the theoretical and practical/working knowledge of an exciting, fast growing, cross-disciplinary technology field- Geographic Information Science.
• Working professionals looking to advance their career or meet current job requirements with advanced GIS skills as well as earn points towards the GISP certification - growing demands in both public and private sectors.

• Recent graduates or returning students who wish to acquire technical GIS skills and expertise to support current interests and knowledge. Many of our undergraduate students return to complete the GIS certificate after realizing job market demands - employers really do prefer applicants with GIS skills.
• UWF Emerald Coast Campus/Ft. Walton Beach students or prospective students wanting or needing to complete the GIS certificate to fulfill degree requirements online vs. face to face due to schedule conflicts and/or travel.
