Introduction

The geomatics graduate program includes basic studies in theory, design, and management of all positioning / imaging / mapping systems. Students usually follow program of study tracks in

Photogrammetry / Imaging / Remote Sensing
Geographic Information Systems
Geodesy, and Surveying

Prerequisites for most courses include differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, programming (Fortran, Basic, C, C++) and engineering physics. If a student's undergraduate background lacks strength in statistics or linear algebra, course work in these areas is often included in the graduate program of study.

In addition to the common core and program specific courses, the student can strengthen the program of study from a wide variety of elective courses. The overall program is designed to fit the student's interest/background and length of stay (1-1/2 to 2 years for Master's Degree).
