I'm majoring in GGIS because I really enjoyed doing a high school geo project about the correlation between Canadian sea temperature and the global air temperature. I did a lot of research and learned how to collect and clean up data. After that experience, I thought it would be interesting to dive deeper into the topic via GGIS at UIUC.
If you enjoy understanding how to compile and collect data that's useful for businesses and many other areas, GGIS is a good way to learn about how to interpret and use the data you collect.
