Catalog description

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Capstone course is the culmination of the Geographic Information Systems Technology (GIS) Certificate.

After developing a project plan and working through the analysis necessary, students will present their findings in an oral and written presentation. Additionally, scenario-based assignments will reinforce the project-based analysis process. Throughout the course, portfolio building strategies are explored with an emphasis on developing a professional portfolio demonstrating their work as preparation for entering the GIS profession.
