Certificate and Degree Requirements

We offer four graduate certificates and a non-thesis Master’s degree. The courses taken for certificate degrees can be used towards the Master’s degree. Courses for these programs are online, offered in 8-week lengths first- and second-half of each semester.

Colorado School of Mines undergraduate geology students may apply for a Combined ‘4+1’ whereby they may double count 6 credit hours for both the undergraduate geology degree and the GIS & Geoinformatics’s degree. Application for the combined program needs to be done the semester before applying for completion of the undergraduate degree, by filling out the Combined Application for graduate studies. The courses may count for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees,  must be completed with a grade of B- or better, and must be 500-level or higher courses. Selection of courses should be undertaken in consultation with the GIS graduate academic advisor.
