As the semester begins, now is a good time to begin think-
ing about certification with ASPRS. For students, ASPRS
offers the Geospatial Intern Certification which requires the
pursuit of a degree in spatial science, but does not require on
the job experience. The certification must be applied for in
the final semester before graduating. Designations include
Photogrammetrist, Mapping Scientist in Remote Sensing,
GIS/LIS, Lidar and UAS.
