18 PhD programmes in Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in North America
Ocean Sciences - Air-Sea Interaction and Remote Sensing
The Department of Ocean Sciences (OCE) seeks to advance knowledge and understanding of physical, chemical and biological processes in the oceans. The Ocean Sciences - Air-Sea Interaction and Remote Sensing track is offered at the University of Miami.
Earth and Planetary Sciences
Graduate Studies in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Stanford University involve academic course work and independent research. Students are prepared for careers as professional scientists in research, education, or the application of the Earth and planetary sciences to mineral, energy, water, and space resources.
Geological Sciences
The mission of the graduate program in Geological Sciences at Case Western Reserve University is to train the coming generations of professional earth, environmental, and planetary scientists.
Geological Sciences
The Department of Earth, Marine, and Environmental Sciences at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill offers M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Geological Sciences and Marine Sciences.
Geospatial Analytics
The Center for Geospatial Analytics innovative Ph.D. program brings together departments from across North Carolina State University to train a new generation of interdisciplinary data scientists skilled in developing novel understanding of spatial phenomena and in applying new knowledge to grand challenges.
Geological Sciences
Geologists study the materials that make up the earth, the features and structures found on Earth as well as the processes by which these features and structures formed. We offer a Geological Sciences degree at University of British Columbia.
Geophysics
Theoretically, experimentally, and observationally oriented Master of Science (M.Sc.), Master of Applied Science (M.A.Sc.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programs are offered in a number of key areas of Geophysics at University of British Columbia.
Regional Science
The Ph.D. Regional Science program at Cornell University is designed to provide students with a thorough understanding of regional, interregional, location, and conflict theory in the context of physical and policy spaces and the framework of existing economic, social, and political systems.
Geographic Information Science
Working closely with a dedicated faculty that is recognized nationally and internationally for its research, mentoring, and teaching accomplishments, students of the Geographic Information Science program from Texas State University embark on a journey of professional development that includes research and teaching opportunities.
Geography - Aeronautics
Exceptional students may be allowed to enter the PhD Geography - Aeronautics program at University of Waterloo directly from the Master's program.
Geographic Information Science
The PhD program in Geographic Information Science at Arizona State University fosters training of next generation scientists and engineers who will excel at theoretical, computational, analytical and technical knowledge in transdisciplinary geospatial sciences.
Geospatial Information Sciences
The mission of the PhD in Geospatial Information Sciences degree program at University of Texas at Dallas is to cultivate innovative researchers capable of advancing the frontiers of knowledge in the geospatial information sciences through improved theories, new technologies, innovative methodologies, sophisticated quantitative analyses and integrative applications.
Geodetic Science
A student at The Ohio State University with the proper background typically needs three years beyond the MS in Geodetic Science to complete the PhD requirements.
Geological Engineering
Our Geological Engineering program at University of British Columbia delivers an interdisciplinary experience, combining principles of geotechnical engineering, hydrogeology and geology, to provide a versatile set of skills needed to solve a wide range of practical problems related to engineering interactions with the earth environment.
Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences
Students can be admitted to the Geosensing Systems Engineering and Sciences Ph.D. program from University of Houston as either a direct B.S. to PhD student or as a post M.S. student.
Spatial Information Science and Engineering
Degrees offered at The University of Maine include the Master of Science in Spatial Information Science and Engineering and PhD in Spatial Information Science and Engineering.
Geological Engineering
A Geological Engineering student at University of Oklahoma should expect to spend at least the equivalent of three full academic years beyond the bachelor’s degree to obtain the doctoral degree.
Geological Sciences
The Department of Earth Ocean and Atmospheric Science at Florida State University offers advanced degrees in Geological Sciences at both M.S. and Ph.D. levels.
