[Geog_Jobs] FW: M.S. in GIS at SUNY Albany: Accepting applications for Fall 2019 semester

[Sinha, Gaurav]

The MS in GIS at the University at Albany is still considering applications for the Fall 2019 semester.



We are currently offering a $1500 tuition scholarship for the first year of studies. Please note that we have dropped our GRE admissions requirement. Please ignore any earlier program announcements that mention it-you don't need to take the GRE!



Please feel free to contact Dr. James Mower (jmower at albany.edu<mailto:jmower at albany.edu>) if you have any questions with the process.



For a tour of the program, please check out a PowerPoint presentation at: www.albany.edu/spatial/files/msgis/...<https://www.albany.edu/spatial/files/msgis/msgis-suny-albany.pdf>



Note: this MSGIS is a STEM Designated Degree Program with a CIP code of 45.0702. Therefore, it qualifies an F-1 student for a 24-month STEM optional practical training (OPT) extension. For information of the Eligible CIP Codes for the STEM OPT Extension, see: studyinthestates.dhs.gov/...<https://studyinthestates.dhs.gov/eligible-cip-codes-for-the-stem-opt-extension,> specifically, www.ice.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Document/2016/...<https://www.ice.gov/sites/default/files/documents/Document/2016/stem-list.pdf>.

The Department of Geography and Planning at the University at Albany has begun offering a Master of Science in Geographic Information Science (MSGIS)<http://www.albany.edu/gp/ms-gis.php> and is now accepting applications for the Fall 2018 semester. The 36-credit program<http://www.albany.edu/graduatebulletin/geographic_info_sci_ms_degree.php> is divided into an 18-credit core, a 3-credit capstone course, and 15 credits of electives. Our GIS faculty members include 4 experts in their respective fields:

·         Dr. Alexander Buyantuev<http://www.albany.edu/gp/Buyantuev.php>--remote sensing technology and its application to environmental issues,

·         Dr. Shiguo Jiang<http://www.albany.edu/spatial/>, the use of spatial statistics for environmental analysis,

·         Dr. Rui Li<http://www.albany.edu/~rl214236/>-mapping and navigation, and

·         Dr. James Mower<http://www.albany.edu/faculty/jmower/>-algorithm development for augmented reality and landscape rendering applications.

Because of our location in New York State's Capital Region, students participating in the MSGIS program will have the unique opportunity to access a wide array of internship offerings, including those with public and private sector offices and agencies.



Our faculty and I would be happy to discuss the MSGIS with you by email (best), by phone, or during a visit to the Department. Thank you!
