B.S Curriculum Admissions Faculty Advisor Student Services Courses	Always on the leading edge, UF offers the state’s only 4-year accredited degree program in Geomatics. This field uses advanced technology to detect how and where things are located on the Earth’s surface. As a Geomatics student you’ll study: how the Earth is measured, how Earth-based data is analyzed and how this data is integrated into forms and systems that people can use. Everyday work requires proficiency with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), surveying and mapping, plus remote sensing and photogrammetry. While a UF student, regular use of high tech classroom and field equipment prepare you to enter this work world with plenty of hands-on experience. Plus, we offer assistance with finding and applying for invaluable internship opportunities. Students who graduate from the UF Geomatics Program are in extremely high demand. Whether working for a large corporation, private company or the public sector, opportunities for rapid advancement are plentiful. • Within 5 years, most Geomatics’ graduates own their own business or are a partner in a business. • Currently, there are far more job offers than available graduates. • Starting salaries for graduates typically approach $50,000.
