CIS 350 - Geographic Analysis of Data: An Introduction to GIS


Prerequisites: Junior standing
This course is a hands-on introduction to GIS. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is a tool for creating maps and for doing spatial analysis - that is, asking your maps questions and getting maps to assist in decision-making and problem solving. Typical applications include customer, crime, pollution and voting maps. You will learn to use existing geographic data sets and to incorporate your own data. You will build maps with multiple layers in an attempt to support an argument or to solve a problem that relates to your specific discipline.
