All MIPM applicants must have completed a college-level math course by the time they begin the program in the fall.
Strongly Recommended
The MIPM program includes a course in Geographic Information Systems. We recommend that all applicants view the course information and, if they do not have an introductory GIS course or relevant work experience in their background, consider taking an introductory course. This must be completed before the start of the program in fall. There are introductory courses on GIS offered online, at community colleges, and by Esri, the makers of the ArcView software used in our course.
