The M.S. in GIS management program is unlike any in the country. Central to the mission of our program is to provide a practical, hands-on educational experience that prepares students for a career in the administration of GIS, particularly in a public context. Our program at SU has been rated the No. 1 online program of its kind in the United States. The Master of Science in GIS Management requires the completion of at least 34 credit hours, of which at least 21 credit hours are earned at Salisbury University.
