Geographic Information Systems
Program description: Geographic information systems is a powerful set of integrated technology tools intended to assist with collection, storage, manipulation, analysis and visualization of real-world spatial data. This information is used in business and marketing, resource management, mapping, environmental management and other industries. In the 1990s, GIS exploded into one of the fastest growing and most widely adopted technologies in the information age.
Geospatial technology is one of the U.S. Department of Labor's High Demand/High Technology career fields. The demand for individuals with this training is global and will continue to grow faster than the supply of qualified graduates. Community colleges are critical to the sustainability and growth of the geospatial workforce.
Kirkwood's two-year degree provides students with the skills necessary to work in this exciting, high-tech field.
