Intermediate GIS prepares students for advanced geographic analysis.  Within the framework of class projects and lab exercises, students will integrate geographic and spatial concepts, data management and analysis, and cartographic design using a leading software package (ArcGIS).  Students will develop a deeper understanding of GIS concepts and theory, and greater proficiency in software applications.

Laboratory exercises will allow students of various disciplines to explore the use of GIS in their fields.  This course is also applicable to those already in the GIS field seeking additional skills.  (GIS211 is cross listed as GEOG 211.  Credit given in either area, not both.)
