GIS certificate courses give you first-hand experience using geospatial technologies along with associated artificial intelligence techniques and big data analysis to retrieve and process geographic information and present it in digital maps as well as other visual formats.
The five-course curriculum teaches you how to use geographic mapping technologies to:
- Respond to urban emergencies
- Track environmental change
- Predict natural disasters
- Identify emerging social issues
- Study socioeconomic and market trends
By the end of the program, you’ll be ready to support mapping projects in natural resource management, agriculture, archeology, environmental protection, forestry, or urban planning.
