A broad-based overview of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and their applications in the analysis and decision-making process.

These skills will help students prepare for careers in fields that use spatial data, including (but not limited to), natural and social sciences, environment, business, hospitality management, history, social work, public safety, health, real estate, criminal justice, engineering and military science. Students are required to have basic computer skills.
