Introduction to Geographic Information Systems
The School of Engineering, Department of Geomatics at UAA offers a 32 credit, transcripted curriculum leading to a Certificate in Geographic Information Systems. It represents a focused, concentrated study in the emerging field of geospatial data—information that can be referenced to the Earth through various coordinate systems. Data of this type may include buildings, earthquake faults, river systems, geologic deposits, land use, population centers or anything that can be geographically referenced, and it includes remotely-sensed satellite imagery as well.
Admission to the GIS certificate is currently suspended.
