99 Students electing to specialize in the area of geographic information systems at the M.A. level are expected to have an adequate background for undertaking this work. This includes, in addition to the courses in mathematics and statistics prescribed by the department, a basic familiarity with computer operations (including some programming experience) as well as at least one course in cartography. Students without a background in cartography will be required to include Geography 580 (Elements of Cartography) in their program during the first term they are in residence. Additional courses in cartography are highly recommended. All students enrolled in the M.A. program in geography with a specialization in geographic information systems are required to complete the following courses (in addition to those required by the Department) during their first year of residence: Geog 685 Intro to GIS (Autumn) NatRes 745 Cartographic Modelling (Winter) Geog 687 Intro to the Design and Implementation of GIS (Spring) In addition to the above courses, students stressing GIS work in application areas are required to complete at least one advanced GIS course (either inside or outside of the Department of Geography) as well as Geography 880.01 (Seminar in Geographic information Systems) Students in this option must also identify a specific geographic specialization (e.g., urban, transportation, etc.) and must complete a minimum of two courses in this area unless such course work has been completed prior to their entry into our M.A. program. Those students wishing to stress a GIS system design specialization, must include in their second year program the advanced GIS design course taught in the School of Natural Resources (number currently being assigned) and Geography 887 (Seminar in Geographic Information System Design). Students in this specialization should also arrange to include CIS 516 (Information System Analysis and Design) in their program if at all possible. All M.A. students specializing in the GIS area are also urged to complete CIS 670 (Introduction to Database Systems) as part of their program if at all possible. It is anticipated that students embarking upon a Ph.D. major in geographic information systems will be working in ' either the area of system design/ evaluation or in the area of technical development of GIS. Students with a primary interest in advanced GIS applications within one of the Department’s specialty areas (e.g., urban geography, climatology, etc.) are advised to select a Ph.D. major in that area with a formal minor in GIS (see below). Students electing a Ph.D. major in geographic information systems are expected to have a background at least equivalent to that which is contained in the program leading to the M.A. specialization in GIS. Students without such a background may, if admitted, expect to expend additional time making up any deficiencies. Ph.D. students in GIS are also expected to enroll in a number of relevant courses in Computer and Information Sciences, and it is generally expected that their background will permit such enrollment without the need for remedial work in CIS. The student’s precise course of study, in addition to those courses required of all Ph.D. students by the Department of Geography, will be determined by the student and his/her advisor. In addition to these major programs, the Department of Geography offers a Minor in GIS at the Ph.D. level. While intended mainly for Ph.D. students in Geography with primary interests in the application of GIS technology to their own field (e.g., urban geography), the program is also open on an informal basis to Ph.D. students in other departments. CONCLUSION There are several other LIS/GIS programs emerging at OSU, most notably in the School of Natural Resources, which cater for students with different backgrounds and interests. For students who cannot find a niche in one of these programs or those described above, a “one-of-a-kind” program may be designed which conforms more precisely
