The National Center for Geographic Information and Analysis (NCGIA) is a research center dedicated to advancing research and education in geographic information science. The NCGIA-Maine is an organized research unit at the University of Maine that overlaps with the Department of Spatial Information Science and Engineering (SIE). The center focuses on the acquisition, modeling, and use of spatial information and the design of spatial information systems.

 

Associated with NCGIA there is a well established graduate program offering a Ph.D. degree and an M.S. degree in Spatial information Science and Engineering. There is also a complementary undergraduate degree program in Information Systems Engineering.
