3. Additional Requirements
A. A maximum of 3.00 units in MATH may be used towards the Certificate.
B. Only 3.00 units from GPHY 415 will be counted towards the Certificate in Geographic Information Science (GISC).
4. Notes
A. Students may do an independent study course (i.e., GPHY 501, GPHY 594, or GPHY 595) with a faculty member in Geography and Planning on a geographic information science topic upon approval of the Undergraduate Committee. This course may be counted toward the Certificate as an option course with approval of the Undergraduate Committee.
B. Students considering adding the Certificate in Geographic Information Science to their degree program should consult as soon as possible with the Department of Geography and Planning.
C. Students must pass all courses relating to the Certificate with a GPA of 1.90, and must be completing (or have completed) an undergraduate degree at Queen’s University.
