Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
The focus of the Spring 2020 session is on learning ESRI’s ArcGIS software. This will be a traditional introductory course that will tackle how to use the industry standard software. Note: ArcGIS is only available for the PC/Windows or dual-boot Mac. If you do not have this option you will not be able to install software or follow along with hands-on activities.
