Career Opportunities in GIS |
|
The potential
applications of geographic information software (GIS) and related technologies
are almost endless. GIS is being used in applications ranging from
transportation planning, urban growth management,
market analysis, retail site selection,
business logistics, health care planning,
epidemeology, facilities management, archaeology,
landscape architecture, environmental analysis,
natural resource management, hazards mitigation,
hazards response and even oceanography!
Plus, GIS is a growth industry and software firms are always looking for
people with the right background.
Because of the many
applications of GIS, individuals with a solid education in geographic
information science (GISci) are in great demand at all levels of industry,
government and the private sector. A "solid education"
in GISci requires both a foundation in geographic theory and problems
as well as computer science skills. The University of Utah Certificate
Program in Geographic Information Science offers the education and
skills necessary for a first-rate career in GIS!
