Geographical Information Systems Analysis, TCA

In this program, students will learn that the power of a GIS comes from the ability to relate different information in a spatial context and to reach a conclusion about this relationship. Most of the information we have about our world contains a location reference, placing that information at some point on the globe. Students will explore and learn to utilize the many different computer databases that can be directly entered into a GIS and are being produced by Federal, State, tribal, and local governments, private companies, academia, and non-profit organizations.
