 Notes:

1. GEOG 302 and/or GEOG 307 cannot be used to satisfy both the six credit requirement and the 12 credit requirement.
2. GEOG 485 is repeatable under different titles, so multiple completions can be used to satisfy this requirement, provided that it is taken for 3 credits each time.
3. With advisor approval, 1 relevant computer-science course or course incorporating GIS from another discipline may be substituted for any of the elective courses above. A list of acceptable substitute courses is maintained by the Department of Geography & GIS.
