New GIS/GPS Certificate at School of Natural Resources

We've got a new GIS/GPS certificate at Natural Resources aimed at non-GIS/GPS majors who want to prove their geospatial capabilities to employers (heard from another employer today who can't seem to find enough people with GIS or GPS skills).

The required classes

GEO 100 Intro to GIS (2cr)
GEO 102 Intro to GPS (2cr)
or
GEO 104 Intro GIS/GPS combo

NRM 125 Map Reading and Interpretation (2cr)
GEO 101 Intermediate GIS (3cr)
GEO 140 Intermediate GPS (2cr)
GEO ??? NR Mapping & GPS (1cr)

For most of you, the only addition to get the certificate will be the Intermediate classes. We've shifted the meeting times to late afternoon, so you'll be able to take them outside your major block schedule. In these classes, you learn a bit more about the geo-tools and do a project on a subject that you are interested in.
