Geographic Information Science (GIScience) is the scientific discipline that conducts spatial analysis to examine economic, environmental, physical, and social phenomena. GIS overlaps with and draws from many research fields such as computer science, statistics, mathematics, and psychology, and contributes to progress in those fields. GIS is interdisciplinary and supports research in many academic disciplines. Courses in GIS enable students to develop capability in spatial thinking and gather in-depth knowledge in geospatial technology.
