The minor in Geographic Information Science (GISci) is designed to help students who are looking for professional careers in the rapidly expanding sectors dealing with geospatial technology and mapping sciences. The field of geographic information science, while rooted in the discipline of geography, has applications in a variety of fields including but not limited to planning, environmental science, journalism, transportation, business and public health. The GISci minor provides an academic credential for students who are pursuing a degree in another discipline that have developed basic mastery of both geographic concepts relevant to responsible use of the technology, as well as technical and applied aspects of this field. The Minor in GISci is available to any CSULB student, except for those who are majors in geography.
