Advanced Elective Courses (7-9 cr.)

Although elective courses are organized by topical specialty, no specialization is necessary. Additional and experimental courses are offered intermittently; please see faculty or website for current semester offerings. Faculty may submit course syllabi to the GIS Certificate Committee for possible inclusion in the Certificate.

Note: It is a standard of The University of Montana that G designated courses can be taken only by graduate students or undergraduate students who have senior standing with an accumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher, and permission of the instructors.

No more than 4 credits of Independent Study or Internships can be used towards the Certificate.
