Teaching & Curriculum
Courses involving Geographic Information Science and Technology (GIS&T) are taught in many departments across the university, and students from many majors take courses in different departments. All students in the Geographic Science (GS) major take several GIS related courses as part of the GS core curriculum in the program. The Applied GIS concentration in the GS program has the largest concentration of GIS&T courses of any degree program at JMU.
