An education in geospatial intelligence theories, methods, and applications is central to many problem-solving tasks and as such, students with proficiency in these areas are well-suited for an array of employment positions in sectors such as academia, military, intelligence analysis, emergency response and disaster management, law enforcement, etc.
The University of Missouri (MU) will offer and administer the Geospatial Intelligence Certificate Programs (GICP) through the Department of Geography in the College of Arts and Science. The Geography department's present course offerings cover a breadth of both technical and analytic subject matter that is essential in meeting the USGIF curriculum guidelines. In addition, MU's Center for Geospatial Intelligence (CGI) will provide important subject matter expertise necessary for ensuring that the students in our GICP are exposed to a wide variety of relevant geospatial intelligence issues and problems.
