Spring GIS Courses: 

GIS 230 GIS Applications I (hybrid & on-campus sections available): Get started with the basics of geospatial technology with applications that will be immediately useful and practical. 4cr. No prerequisites. Three on-campus Saturday sessions required.

GIS 330 GIS Applications II (on-campus & web-only sections available): Get geospatial super powers like spatial and raster analysis, model and tool building, important design concepts, working with projections, error management, and QA/QC. 4cr. Prerequisite: GIS I or equivalent

GIS 420 Remote Sensing and Image Analysis (web only): Understand and use a wide array of remote sensing technologies with practical applications, including satellite and aerial imagery and lidar. We’ll cover lidar point cloud and digital elevation models, multispectral image analysis, aerial image interpretation, ground truthing, and much more.

GIS 204 Introduction to GPS (five-day on-campus intensive, May 18-22 with some online study before and after) Learn how the GPS system works and use both a variety of GPS receivers in the field. We’ll cover mission planning, post-processing, error management, best practices for field data collection, and basics of web-based mapping. 2cr. No prerequisites.
