Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Systems - Cartographic Specialist and Graduate Certificate in Environmental Visual Communication (Bundle Program)
Program Overview
Geographic Information Systems - Cartographic Specialist
Through the Geographic Information Systems - Cartographic Specialist program you can become a proficient GIS practitioner, visual designer and communicator - creating a variety of customized maps and other products for the many users of geographic information.
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
- Visualize a wide range of data using a variety of mapping techniques (i.e. Choropleth, Dasymetric, Proportional Dot, Dot Density, Distributive and Radial Flow, Terrain Visualization)
- Create infographics that effectively summarize data and communicate intuitively using a variety of mapping and graphing techniques
- Prepare data and perform advanced terrain visualization techniques using satellite imagery and SRTM data to build up terrain surfaces manually in Adobe Photoshop using Avenza Geographic Imager
- Learn the theory behind how people process information, how maps impact people cognitively, and how to use that information to make effective, accessible maps
- Prepare, integrate, and render data about human and physical geography using ArcGIS, Avenza, and Adobe software.
Web Communications
- Become proficient in web communications for effective design and interactive maps.
Municipal GIS
- Learn about the business practices that drive municipal operations and how to prepare information products to support decision making in a municipality
- Prepare, analyze, integrate and render data in a variety of formats, using AutoCAD and ArcGIS software, to support various departments in a municipality
- Work on a real-world micro-project in collaboration with a GIS professional working at a municipality
In addition to acquiring a firm, hands-on foundation using GIS technology tools and creating effective map compositions, you will have many opportunities for team building, project management, problem-solving and critical thinking skills. Since employers are seeking these broad-based transferrable skills, this experience working in technology teams will give you an edge in the workplace
