I do not recommend this program.
I also do not recommend the program. I felt like the classes where a little outdated, as far as GIS technology goes for. There were only 2 classes I felt were helpful. They were the database management courses that were taught by a teaching assistant and the City of HB’s GIS admin. Outside of your final project and class assignments, If you did any GIS it is to benefit the research of the MSGIS director (which is Uncertainty in GIS). The remote sensing class was pretty good, the database management classes were good but those were only taught in the winter intersession. When I discussed my concerns about the program with my cohort, they all agreed that they were unhappy with it. There are no classes on statistical analysis or any of that sort of valuable stuff. Take your $19,500 and put it towards a better program.
