Certificate Programs
The Department of Geography offers two certificate programs, one in Cartography/GIS and one in International Geographic Perspectives. All students, regardless of major, are eligible to participate in a certificate program but certificates are awarded only with, or subsequent to, the awarding of a baccalaureate degree in an approved major. Details of the certificate program are noted below.

It is the responsibility of the student to inform the department in writing if they intend to graduate with a certificate in addition to their baccalaureate degree. This notification must be sent by letter or email to either the Department Secretary or the Undergraduate Director no later than the beginning of the senior year.
