Gis Graduate Certificate is a January 6 Masters program taught at University of West Florida, USA. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (8 weeks (Course Length); Estimated Program Length: 12 months) options.

The University of West Florida (UWF) offers an online Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science. The program emphasizes geographic information systems, cartography and photography, remote sensing, and GIS programming, while also covering the fundamentals of geography and geospatial science. It applies to disciplines including geography, environmental sciences, urban planning, archaeology, business, defense and intelligence, information technology services, and public health/safety.

Courses use ArcGIS Pro software and Python programming. Required technology is provided remotely through Argo Apps for GIS virtual machines. Students attend weekly virtual meetings and can use one-on-one advising, and a required GIS internship includes support connecting students with partners and advisory board members. The certificate can serve as a foundation for the MS GIS Administration degree and adds six credit hours of GIS Core course requirements.
