Dual Degree in Geographic Information Sciences and Sustainable Energy
Program Mission: A dual master's degree between the Professional Science Master's in Geographic Information Sciences (GISci) and the Master of Science (MS) in Sustainable Energy will prepare students in applied science and technology with a management focus.
Admission Requirements: To be eligible for degree candidacy in both programs, applicants must meet all of the requirements for admission to the Graduate School (see "Admission to Degree and Certificate Programs").
· Admission to the Professional Science Master's in GISci. In addition to the published university graduate degree status requirements, applicants must meet all of the requirements for the Professional Science Master's in GISci established by the College of Sciences as outlined in the current Graduate Catalog.
· Admission the Master of Science in Sustainable Energy: In addition to the published university graduate degree status requirements, applicants must meet all of the admission requirements for the Master of Science in Sustainable Energy established by the Center for Clean Energy Research and Education (CENCERE) as outlined in the current Graduate Catalog.
Degree Audit: The graduate plan of study is the EIU Degree Audit, which is generated automatically in the Degree Audit Reporting System (DARS) at the time of degree or certificate candidacy. Modifications of the standard EIU Degree Audit are submitted by the graduate coordinator to the certification officer in the Graduate School at the time modifications are approved. The Degree Audit serves as an unofficial summary of requirements for the program. Degree and certificate candidates are advised to review the comprehensive summary of the Degree Audit process specified on the "Requirements for All Degree and Certificate Candidates" section of the Graduate Catalog. Individual programs may require candidates to submit plans of study in addition to the Degree Audit; candidates should consult with the program Coordinator.
