GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGY (GIS2)
The Geographic Information Systems Technology Diploma program prepares
students for employment in a variety of professions as GIS technicians.
GIS technicians learn to create, analyze, and maintain digital mapping
layers that can allow organizations to make complex and informed
decisions based on natural resource features, locations of man-made
structures, population density, and other relevant geographic data.
Training includes: mapping of natural resources, mapping and cartographic
fundamentals, statistical analysis, global positioning systems,
database design and management, spatial analysis and modeling, and
internet mapping.
