The Geographic Information Systems Advanced Certificate is designed for a person who needs to add some GIS knowledge to their existing skill set, but not be a major component of their job. This program consists of seven courses: two foundation courses, four application level courses, and a capstone course. In the foundation courses, you will learn the theory, concepts, and related disciplines of GIS together with introductory hands-on experience using ArcGIS software. In the application level courses, you will get further experience using ArcGIS software, developing spatial databases, working with big data, and analyzing satellite and other aerial imagery. In the capstone course, you will undertake a project using your background (e.g. engineering) to guide the topic.
