» Program Overview

The certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) offers students the opportunity to gain an understanding of the built environment such that it might add value and focus to a major degree as well as enrich an LTU education in general. The certificate curriculum advances visualization, mapping, spatial analysis, thematic diagrams, and other urban design-supportive GIS-based techniques and skills. Coursework covers methods, theories, principles, practices, and application of GIS in urban design.

The program consists of three subject area components: quantitative methods in urban design and visual communication (theory focus); advanced GIS, urban design methods, and simulation & prototyping (practice focus); and GIS practicum (application).
