New Program - Geospatial Information Science Technology AAS (GG10)

NEW Program - Geospatial Information Science Technology AAS (GG10)

The College has received notification of the registration of a new program by the New York State Education Department effective immediately.

The Geospatial Information Science and Technology (GIST) A.A.S. is a growing and exciting career field that allows users to see trends and patterns in crimes, health, environment, finances, and more. GIST uses computer software, imagery (airplanes, drones, and satellites), and data (phones to online data) to map and analyze information. Students who earn an A.A.S in GIST will have received a comprehensive education and internship to prepare them to enter the geospatial workforce (GIST technician) or transfer to a four-year university and have a wide variety of career options (cartographer, geospatial intelligence, or remote sensing analyst).
