Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Systems - Geospatial Science

Concord University's mathematical and computing sciences programs prepare students for careers as software developers, actuaries, mathematicians, analysts, statisticians, systems administrators, underwriters, data scientists, project managers, and educators. Our general studies courses develop the abstract quantitative reasoning that is critical to sophisticated problem-solving. Information systems specialists use their technology knowledge and skills to help businesses and other organizations achieve their goals. Students in this major will learn how to organize, analyze, and apply data to implement effective, efficient, and secure technology solutions. Concord’s curriculum is designed to give students a strong background in computing that they can then apply to an area of interest. The curriculum’s design is guided by recommendations from the Association of Computing Machinery and the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers. The core prepares students for a wide variety of careers and graduate school, but students can also choose one of five concentrations in which to specialize Accounting and Control; Geospatial Science; Information Technology; Management or Web. The Geospatial Science program is designed for students interested in pursuing careers in geographic information systems. Students in this concentration will learn how to utilize computational tools to solve environmental and social challenges. This concentration is suitable for double majors in Geography.
