Hi Everyone,
The Geography Program at U-Mass Amherst is offering the following GIS courses this summer, starting May 17:
Introduction to GIS (May 17 - June 25 and again July 6 to August 13)
- The goals of this course are to teach you basic GIS concepts such as spatial data sources and structures, projections and coordinate systems, geospatial analysis, cartographic modeling, and the integration of remote sensing and GIS. By the end of the course,
students will be proficient in ESRI ArcGIS software.
GIS Programming (May 17 - June 25)
- This course will explore programming methods and applications in geographic information science. Basic automation methods of repetitive or complex tasks using Model Builder and Python scripting will be explored through the lens of spatial thinking and computational
thinking. Fundamentals of Python will also be explored for use inside and outside of the GIS environment.
Both courses are fully remote and open to both students and professionals.
