About SPACE
The SPACE program exists to achieve systemic change within undergraduate education in the social
sciences, with extension to the environmental sciences. Our approach is based on the value of spatial thinking, and
associated technologies (geographic information systems and tools for spatial analysis), as the basis for greater
integration among the social science disciplines, greater motivation for students, greater relevance to societal
problems, greater integration of technology into undergraduate instruction, and greater employment prospects for
graduates. Please download the informative brochure
372kb about the SPACE
program and distribute it to others who may be interested in promoting spatial analytic thinking in the social sciences.
The SPACE program is managed through a consortium consisting of the University
of California, Santa Barbara; The Ohio
State University; and the University
Consortium for Geographic Information Science. SPACE is funded under
the National Science Foundation's program for Course, Curriculum & Laboratory
Improvement - National Dissemination (CCLI-ND). Any opinions, findings and
conclusions or recomendations expressed in material on this website are those of the author(s) and do not
