Undergraduate Certificate In Urban Planning
The Department of Urban Planning offers UWM undergraduate students the opportunity to obtain a Certificate in Urban Planning. The intent of the program is to recognize those students who obtain a thorough introduction to urban planning through specialized undergraduate coursework. Courses provide students with an understanding of many of the most important problems facing urban society and help prepare students for a variety of careers and graduate study. A cumulative GPA of 3.0 or better and a total of 18 credits from designated courses are required.
Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
GIS is used to manage and analyze spatial data for a broad range of business and public uses. Public health offices study the spatial patterns of infectious disease outbreaks; market researchers study the demographics of areas before introducing a new product to an area; educators study geographic data to recommend building new schools or closing others. In short, if where is a critical component of a problem, GIS is critical for finding a solution.
