Effective Catalog Year Fall 2023 Fall 2024
CIP Code Geographic Information Science and Cartography. Geography.
Description and justification of the request "First, students may now take GEOS 5733 Geospatial Data Science in Public Health (approved Apr 2022) as an alternative to GEOS 5543 Geospatial Applications and Information Science. Second the order within the course list has been adjusted to best reflect the recommended sequence. | First, Department of Geosciences currently offers online geospatial courses as part of the Graduate Certificate in Geospatial Technologies. Public health applications are not the focus of current courses, and these applications are rapidly expanding in the wake of a global pandemic. In Apr 2022, in collaboration with University of Arkansas Global Campus, GEOS 5733 Geospatial Data Science in Public Health was approved as a new course intended to become an alternative to GEOS 5543 Geospatial Applications and Information Science for students with interests in public health. Second, providing a course sequence that matches what the advisor is telling students makes more sense." "Changing CIP code from 45.0702 Geographic Information Science and Cartography to 45.0701 Geography. | Meeting ADHE viability requirements by counting the certificate with the bachelor's and master's degrees in geography."
