The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Spatial Analysis is a blend of both education and preparation designed to produce graduates with skills that meet workforce needs in the Geospatial Science and Technology field with little or no further preparation by employers. The Environmental and Spatial Analysis (ESA) degree is composed of a focused curriculum built around advanced Geographic Science and Technology and includes the opportunity for students to focus their learning experience through directed elective coursework in computing and information technology, earth systems, engineering, environmental science, environmental studies, geoscience, and other areas.

  • Fulfill all UNG policies and graduation requirements.
  • GISC 2011/L and ENST 2030 should be completed in the core curriculum or as electives.
  • With approval, MATH 1401 or MATH 3350 may substitute for GISC 3337K. Course credit can only be counted once toward degree requirements.
