Our courses emphasize a deep understanding of core GIS concepts and an engagement with real world applications and the latest technologies.
The GIS Certificate program covers:
- Geographical Information Systems (GIS)
- Unoccupied Aircraft Systems (UAS), or drones and Geospatial Applications
- Remote Sensing Foundations
- Geospatial Computation
- Environmental Modeling
- Data Visualization and Communication
- All courses use the current version of ESRI’s ArcGIS Pro software
“I wanted experience using this tool (ArcGIS), and this is what the UVM Intro to GIS class really focuses on – how to use ArcGIS, download data, and make maps.”
