Microcredentials

Geographic Information Systems

Learning Outcomes

A geographic information system (GIS) is a computer-based system for collecting, mapping, and analyzing geospatial data.

Knowledge of GIS and related software is useful to students across many disciplines (including but not limited to geography, geology, environmental sciences, sustainability, and ecology) and can boost future opportunities for research, internships, jobs, graduate school, and beyond.

Through coursework in the Microcredential in GIS, students will gain proficiency in GIS software and related technologies. Specifically, students will learn to use GIS software to collect, manage, and display geographic data, as well as to perform geospatial analysis and create high-quality maps.
