Specialization in GIS Spatial Analysis with Python

University of Washington Professional and Continuing Education ETPL

For GIS professionals, knowing how to use geoprocessing platforms such as Esri’s ArcGIS is essential – but building on that expertise with advanced data analysis and modeling skills gives you a powerful competitive advantage. By combining GIS with Python and R programming, you can automate geoprocessing, analyze large spatial datasets, build custom models, integrate open‑source tools with ArcGIS, and apply statistical and machine learning methods across any field that relies on spatial data and geographic visualizations.

In this one‑course specialization, you’ll use Python and R to power high‑level geospatial analysis that extends GIS. You’ll apply these languages to geoprocessing tasks, explore core spatial libraries to automate workflows, and develop data processing and visualization solutions for prediction modeling, planning, suitability analysis and complex spatial data projects.
