It's referred to as a MS in Applied Geospatial Analytics everywhere except the FAQ, where it says the transcript will read MS in Graduate Studies.
Quote:What will my degree transcript be awarded as?
After successfully completing all required courses, your transcript will read Master of Science in Graduate Studies with a major in Applied Geospatial Analytics.

> Master of Science in Graduate Studies with a major in Applied Geospatial Analytics.
I'd be fine with that

That is such a shame. This is the same problem as with the Harvard "Masters in Extension Studies" issue. At first I was excited af to forward this to my geospatial analyst husband, but if the transcript states "in graduate studies" the military will put that as the major in vmpf. They (or at least the AF) are so goddamn picky about the degree title being exactly how it appears in the TFOT guide in order for it to be considered a qualifying STEM degree for certain jobs.

If the school isn't particularly important, here is an online MS in Geographic Information Science for $10,500 (including fees) at Northwest Missouri State University: https://online.nwmissouri.edu/programs/ms-in-geographic-information-science.aspx

Here's a little thing about the difference between geospacial analytics and GIS

Quote:Geographic information science or geographical information science (GIScience or GISc) [...] can be contrasted with geographic information systems (GIS), which are the actual repositories of such data, the software tools for carrying out relevant tasks, and the profession of GIS users.

Why they name degrees so wonky is beyond me. A Master of Science in Graduate Studies? Geez. Surely they could have gained approval for the Master of Science in Applied Geospatial Analytics.
