Geospatial Technology (A40220)


The Geospatial Technology curriculum provides a broad background in Geographic Information System (GIS) and Global Positioning System (GPS) technologies with practical applications in municipal, industrial, natural resources management, and other fields.

Course work consists of class and hands-on experience with GIS/GPS technologies, including running and modifying current GIS software, creating and manipulating GIS databases, and operating GPS technology.

This program is offered through a collaborative agreement with Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) in Charlotte, NC.  The classes on the Program Planning Guide that list Charlotte next to the course title are offered by CPCC in an online format over the Internet.  A student can complete the degree without having to take classes on the CPCC campus.

Program Planning Guides are available online.
