Course Description:

This introductory course strives to provide a comprehensive understanding of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) by striking a balance between the "how-to" of GIS using ArcGIS Pro software and the "why" of Geographic Information Science. Through exploration and analysis of local, regional, and global problems, students will gain valuable insights into the world of geospatial science and technology. Explore the fundamental concepts of representing real-world geographic data in a digital format, setting the foundation for geospatial analysis. Construct spatial databases, including data modeling and data organization techniques, ensuring data integrity and efficiency. Learn the power of spatial database queries enabling the extraction of valuable insights. Gain proficiency in spatial analysis techniques, using GIS tools to answer complex spatial questions and solve real-world problems.

Course Description:

GIS Internship is a supervised application of Geographic Information Science (GIS) in business, government, non-profit, educational, or other related organizations. The course has two major goals; to monitor the progress of students in their selected internships and to prepare students for the GIS workforce. This is one of the last courses required in the GIS Certificate and GIS Minor. Students completing a traditional internship (130 hours in the workplace) are classified as Group 1. Internships may be conducted on-site, remotely, or a mixture of the two. Up to 22 hours of experience completed through the seminar portion of the course may be contributed to internship hours if needed. Students unable to secure an internship will be classified as Group 2 and complete specified ESRI Training online courses totaling 130 hours. This course is taught completely online. The Canvas course site is designed to monitor students as they progress in their GIS Internship and provides activities and mechanisms that aid GIS career development. Seminar assignments include readings focusing on specific industries and related resources, recorded industry spotlight interviews, class discussions, and assignments that prepare students for the workforce. At the end of the course, students complete a GIS portfolio showcasing skills, best works throughout the GIS Certificate program or GIS minor courses, and a vetted resume. Offered concurrently with GIS 5945 where graduate students will be assigned additional work. Permission is required.
