At Miami, there’s something for everyone.
What I would say is that the Miami GIS program set me up extremely well with the skills I needed to begin my career as an entry level GIS professional. By equipping me with skills in vector and raster data processing, remote sensing, and python I had the suite I needed to join a variety of industries and was able to hit the ground running as a graduate.

One of the hardest challenges a young GIS professional will face is understanding how to apply their skills in the real world. The Miami GIS program prepares students for this challenge by teaching GIS from a variety of practical perspectives – real-world client projects, syllabi that teach practical skills, and instructors with a wide range of experience. I ended up in Business, and although I never took a GIS in Business class, I was prepared to apply my skill set to any industry – including commercial real estate – because I was challenged by Miami’s GIS program.
