Geographic Informations Systems
Description
Geographic Information Systems (GIS), a popular and affordable technology, are used to automate the gathering, storage, analysis and communication of geospatial data in a variety of contexts, and used for many specialized purposes by corporations and governments. Computer Assisted Drawing (CAD), Global Positioning Systems (GPS) and Remote Sensing Devices that produce aerial earth imagery, are integrated with specialized software to develop maps that are clear, readable and useful.
Seneca College's GIS Certificate Program is designed to provide students with a strong general foundation in GIS applications. The program provides you with the ability to visualize, understand, interpret and question data (in the form of maps, globes, reports and charts) and to integrate images of the earth with other data in order to solve geographic problems.
The skills learned in the program can be applied in any discipline in both public and private sectors. Graduates of this program are prepared for entry level positions in the fields of urban planning, civil and transportation engineering, natural resources, and business.
Entry Requirements
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, OR 19 years of age or older.
