ArcGIS is a powerful software, used in many fields, which allows the user to explore and analyze spatial data (anything that can be mapped), investigating connections and changes. This two credit course will give the student a basic understanding of GIS, so that the tool can be used in projects and research in their own respective fields. Examples from many different fields will be employed in the course, demonstrating the potential power of the software. Upon completion of the course, students will be prepared to take ArcGIS Desktop Entry Certification Exam.
