GIS Online Master's alumni Emily Sandrowicz capstone project (pictured).
Regarding UWF's GIS Online M.S. program, Sandrowicz says: "As someone who is already comfortably settled in a GIS career, earning my masters was more about career advancement. While I'm comfortable with most GIS topics, I've never taken classes in management of finance, so broadening my knowledge base was the main goal."
