Geographic Information Systems

The Evergreen State College ETPL
This certificate introduces you to the exciting and expanding world of geographic information systems. GIS is a rapidly-growing field with wide applicability around the world. Government agencies and companies use GIS to manage large spatial databases, generate maps and apps, conduct spatial analysis and support decisions. In business, science, and policy, GIS informs the allocation of assets, tradeoffs between alternatives, environmental risks, and many other issues. In this certificate program, you'll learn principles of geography and tools of spatial analysis to understand the connections between physical, cultural, historical, and other properties of the environment. You will also learn to create maps and interactive apps including interactive map viewers, 3D scenes, story maps, and dashboards.
