Geographic Information Science Co-operative Education Program

Program Requirements

Students are strongly encouraged to enroll in co-operative education. Geographic information science students will be in great demand while still completing the program. The number of co-op posting requests exceeds the supply by a large margin. Co-op employers are actively seeking students with broad GIS skills, especially programming, database management, and statistics, in addition to substantive knowledge in geography and resource management.

Placements for students in the GIS program are made through the university's Science and Environment Co-operative Education Program. Application details are at www.sfu.ca/coop/programs.html.
