Students will complete two required core courses (six units) in their selected option and six additional graduate units from the courses listed below in a program of study with prior approval of minor degree representatives on the student’s committee. Any one of the core courses, in either option, may also be used towards the six elective units, in either option. Prior approval of a proposed study plan for the minor will be made by representatives drawn from the Committee on Remote Sensing and Spatial Analysis, consisting of more than 20 University of Arizona faculty. Take a look at our Student Handbook to get a more detailed look into our requirements.
