GEOG 250 Introduction to Maps and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) (5 credits)
GER-NS
This course broadly introduces students to the field of cartography – the production, interpretation and use of maps – and practical use of Geography Information Systems (GIS) applications. There are two emphases in the course. First, students will explore elements of map design, cartographic concepts like projections and scale, and how maps are used (and misused) in society. A second emphasis involves a basic introduction into relevant Geography Information Systems applications being used today, particularly ESRI’s ArcGIS software. Basic computer literacy skills are strongly recommended.
