The Geospatial Intelligence Certificate, accredited by the United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF), provides education and training in scientific concepts, methods and key geospatial technologies, used in the solution of global problems of human security, including natural disasters, humanitarian crisis, environmental risks, military operations, political violence, public health and challenges in access to food. USGIF is the only organization that provides university accreditation in GEOINT, being the world leader in this field.
It aims to train managers and staff to apply knowledge of earth image processing/remote sensing, geographic information science, computer science and analytic processes to geospatial intelligence, as well as select, use, synthesize, and demonstrate the techniques, skills, and tools necessary to solve geospatial intelligence problems.
