PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
Cartography - known as the art and science of making maps, has come a long way since the efforts of early mapmakers who worked with pen and ink. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) allows today's "cartographer" to store geographic data in an organized way, to allow for quick access, correlation, and analysis. By using GIS, cartographers are able to collect, store, and combine data about a given area, subject, or region being researched. GIS helps planners working on environmental, public health, municipal planning, and natural resource projects monitor change, predict trends and manage resources.
While about 80% of the curriculum is shared with the GIS – Application Specialist program, the Cartographic-specific courses in this program include:
Geovisualization
Web Communications
Municipal GIS
