How long will it take me to earn the GISc Certificate?
This depends on you and how much time you can commit to the coursework, and it also depends on which term you enter the program, and which specific courses are being offered each term. There are four required courses plus one elective needed for the GISc Certificate and most students can complete within 4 terms (2 years). In some cases, students can complete within 3 terms, if they take two courses each for two terms, and one course in the third term. If you take only one course per term, it will take five terms to finish to Certificate. Since some of the coursework is sequential, program advisement is recommended to ensure expedited completion.
