Students also gain experience in designing and producing effective maps. GEOG 5222 requires use of ESRI's ArcView GIS and ArcView Spatial Analyst software packages. This is the third in a series of four courses that lead to the Certificate of Achievement in Geographic Information Systems. GEOG 5123 consists of tutorials, readings, projects, and discussions concerned with how geographic information systems can be used to analyze and communicate geographic information. Students who successfully complete the course are able to use GIS software to analyze both raster and vector data using a variety of techniques, including spatial and attribute queries, map overlay, and buffering.

This is the third in a series of four courses that lead to the Certificate of Achievement in Geographic Information Systems. The course consists of tutorials, readings, projects, and discussions concerned with how GIS software can be used to integrate geographic data compiled from varied sources. Students who successfully complete the course are able to specify and perform the tasks involved in creating a digital geographic database, including geo-registering scanned base maps, digitizing vector features, entering attribute data, and compiling metadata. GEOG 5223 requires use of ESRI's ArcView GIS and ArcView Spatial Analyst software. This is the final course in the Certificate Program in Geographic Information Systems.
