Applied GeoAI Certificate

GeoAI — geospatial artificial intelligence — applies AI and machine learning to location-based data in order to improve understanding, analysis, and decision-making in myriad fields. GeoAI connects spatial information with predictive modeling and automation to reveal patterns that support more informed planning and problem-solving. The Certificate in Applied GeoAI, the first of its kind in the region, focuses on building expertise in GeoAI in an AI-forward job market. Learners in this program will gain skills applicable to the field, such as data management, imagery analysis, and locational intelligence, with a focus on practical application in the job market. The certificate is designed for GIS professionals who want to expand their skills in GeoAI and imagery analysis, for students with prior GIS coursework seeking deeper specialization, and for professionals in fields such as real estate, business, or data science who want to integrate a spatial component into their work. Upon completing the Applied GeoAI certificate, students will have developed skills in Python, geodatabase management, and imagery analysis which would make them competitive in the geospatial field in the St. Louis region.

This program is offered either mostly or fully online. Students entering the U.S. on an F-1 or J-1 Visa must enroll in a program full time. F-1 students are only permitted to enroll in one online course per semester and J-1 students may only enroll in non-credit online courses that do not count toward their degree program. CAPS cannot guarantee face-to-face enrollment options each semester of full time enrollment, therefore cannot issue an I-20 or DS 2019 to F-1 and J-1 students for this program. If you are an F-1 or J-1 student and wish to enroll in a CAPS program while here on a Visa, please contact our recruitment team to discuss your options for face-to-face program enrollment. F-1 and J-1 students should not enroll in online courses or programs without first consulting the university’s Office for International Students and Scholars (OISS).
