Leading the Way in Geography, GIS, and Land Surveying

St. Cloud State University specializes in Geographic Information Science (GIS), Land Surveying and Mapping Sciences, and cultural, physical, and regional Geography. Our programs are supported by advanced research facilities in GIS, image processing, and cartography.

SCSU proudly offers the only Land Surveying program of its kind in the Upper Midwest, drawing students from across the region who seek the credentials to become licensed land surveyors.

Our students gain global and professional experience through study abroad opportunities, involvement in student organizations, presentations at academic events, real-world internships, and strong faculty connections—both nationally and internationally.
