GIS & Just Sustainability: The Urban Sustainability Master of Arts (USMA) Approach Adonia Lugo Gregory Young Donald Strauss Interim Chair Student Core Faculty (310) 578-1080 ext. 287 (805) 350-2931 (310) 578-1080 x 289 alugo@antioch.edu gyoung1@Antioch.edu dstrauss@antioch.edu
Urban Sustainability Master of Arts Degree with Integrated GIS Certificate The 36 unit USMA degree with an integrated Certificate in Applied Spatial Analysis for Geographic Information Systems (GIS) affords students the opportunity to earn both the MA degree and GIS certificate within 4 semesters. The GIS certificate is earned while satisfying several of the USMA program requirements. Students completing both the MA degree and GIS certificate attend a total of 7 residencies and need to enroll for 4 semesters rather than 3 in order for the GIS courses to maintain their necessary sequencing. The first 3 semesters are full-time terms, whereas the fourth one can be half-time.
