Interested in learning about the Geographic Information Systems Graduate Certificate Program at Algonquin College? Stop by their information booth to speak to a representative from Algonquin College.

The one-year Geographic Information Systems Ontario College Graduate Certificate program provides you with knowledge and skills relating to geographic and cartographic science, with a focus on information systems technology.

A key part of this program is the independent project that you begin in your first semester and complete throughout your studies. You identify an area of interest, develop a project proposal, and then implement and complete your project, all in collaboration with an industry or government sponsor.

The use of GIS in various business environments is growing. Graduates may find work in: utility/resource management companies, survey/engineering/environmental companies, software companies, municipal, provincial or federal agencies. Graduates may also seek employment in jobs where GIS is a tool used within the discipline of their previous degree or diploma.
