The skillset course sequence offered by the Center for Geospatial Information Science is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of current state-of-the-art technology in geospatial information science (GIS) and geospatial intelligence (GEOINT), through intensive training over a short time frame. The skill-set courses provide advanced training in key aspects of spatial analysis and data management, coupled with hands-on lab-based exercises across a diversity of devices, software libraries, systems, and data environments that emphasize “learning by doing”.

 GEOG198A: Introduction to GIS in the Era of Big Data (1 credit) 

 GEOG688A: Big Data Analytics 

 GEOG688B: Geospatial Intelligence Systems and Platforms
