What is Remote Sensing? Remote Sensing allows you to gather information at a distance using a variety of advanced technological devices to observe objects and patterns found in the earth, atmosphere, ocean and space. Graduates in this emerging field will be highly sought after across a broad spectrum of business and administration sectors from corporate energy giants to specialized government departments.
The Department of Geography and the Department of Physics and Astronomy offer instruction leading to the Multidisciplinary Major in Remote Sensing. The program is structured to provide a firm theoretical, experimental, and applied background in remote sensing. The Multidisciplinary Major provides a strong basis for further study at the graduate level in related fields, while also providing training in areas of employment opportunity from GIS to astrophysics."
