GEOG 007 - Fun with Maps and GIS

Semester Hours: 1
Periodically
A practical course that introduces non-geography students to the basics of geospatial data, Geographic Information Systems (GIS) software, and mapmaking. Students will collect or assemble geographic data, prepare that data for GIS, and use GIS to create a basic map. Students will develop beginner-level understandings of geospatial data, the principles of GIS, how to visualize real-world features, and cartographically communicating information. This one-credit course is for those who would like to use maps for their work, but have no prior geospatial, GIS, or cartographic experience.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
No credit toward the major  or the minor  in Geography. Grading is mandatory Pass/Fail. [Formerly Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for Beginners.]
