GIS Specialists help manage the world we live in by better understanding it. Through data integration, modeling, analysis and visually communicating ideas, GIS is used to help make informed decisions that affects every aspect of our planet and the life on it.

The program provides a comprehensive understanding of the most used software tools, analysis techniques and data management from cloud and enterprise databases, workflow automation and how to best display your findings. As well, the program focuses on:

  • Spatial analysis to understand and explore complex problems using all types of data
  • GIS data management that focuses on other non-Esri data sources
  • Efficiency of tasks through the automation of repetitive workflows using Python and JavaScript libraries
