The first course leading to the certificate, Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, will be offered Spring quarter of 2001. Our program does not simply teach students how to use a specific software. Students in our program learn how to apply GIS to their discipline and gain experience in a variety of the leading GIS software products. Through the sequence of certificate courses, students will learn to plan and implement GIS projects. This is a fraction of the cost of other GIS programs offered at UC, CSU or private universities.
Financial aid is available for qualified students.
