Cartography and Remote Sensing MinorCartography (map-making) is an ancient science designed to depict the earth’s features and human activities. Today maps are made with several significant functions in mind to understand spatial phenomena, to store information and to analyze areal relationships. Remote sensing uses space-age technology to sense, record and transmit information about the biosphere and atmosphere. Satellite imagery is an important element in collecting remote sensing data. Remote sensing information is often used in constructing modern maps, whether by hand or through the use of computer mapping and geographic information systems software. The goal of the minor is to provide an employment track for undergraduates to entry-level positions as cartographers and remote sensing technicians. The minor provides balanced training between traditional cartographic work and computer maps. Emphasis is on map properties, spatial concepts, mapping techniques, drafting skills, graphic storage and display of data. A strongly recommended aspect of this training is the internship or cooperative education experience at nearby private and public agencies. |

Critical Graduation Information:Each undergraduate student will be responsible for the fulfillment of the requirements or their equivalents of the Eastern Michigan University catalog in force at the time of their initial registration at a college or university or a subsequent catalog including the one in effect at the time of their graduation. In the event an undergraduate student does not complete the degree requirements within seven years of the date of their original registration at a college or university, the student may be required to have their credits re-evaluated by the academic department(s) of their major/minor in keeping with catalog requirements in force during the year of their graduation. The following are minimum requirements for all bachelor’s degrees awarded by Eastern Michigan University. Some majors and minors require more than the minimum in one or more of the areas below; students are urged to consult the online catalog for the requirements of their particular programs.
General Education Requirements:EMU’s General Education Program requires students to choose from a menu of approved courses in several different areas; do not assume that other courses in the same department or with similar names will fulfill these requirements. A detailed description of General Education requirements is available in the General Education section of the catalog. Students who transferred to EMU may have modified general education requirements based on Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) or articulation agreements; consult your academic advisor for additional information. | ||||||||
