GIS Classes at the College of Marin
The College of Marin, in Marin County, has restructured its Geographic Information System (GIS) offerings to include two fully transferrable, 3-unit classes, each class only one night a week! Learn about GIS and GPS technology for as little as $175!
(includes textbook and a 180-day trail version of ESRI’s GIS software)
INTRODUCTION TO GIS
Geography 125 (Fall Semester, 16 Monday
nights, excluding holidays) covers
fundamental GIS concepts, including what is
a GIS? what is GIS data? how to browse and
edit these data and how to present them
clearly and efficiently in maps. Using lecture
with hands-on computer time, students learn
usingESRIArcGISsoftware, Google Earth,
and Garminand TrimbleGPS units. Includes
a class project where students apply
GIS/GPS to their area of interest.
(Transfer Credit: 3 units CSU/UC)
INTRO TO SPATIAL ANALYSIS
Geography 127 (Spring Semester, 16 Monday nights, excluding holidays) explores the
true power of GIS –Spatial Analysis. Using
lecture and hands-on computer time with
ESRI'sSpatial Analyst™, students learn
more about raster data and the hidden
patterns, relationships and previously
unknown stories that can be revealed in this
spatial data. The class also includes a project
where students apply spatial analysis to their
area of interest and present it in a map.
(Transfer Credit: 3 units CSU/UC)
