These maps distill data into informational images that readers can understand, process and draw conclusions. With its analysis capabilities, GIS can also analyze data in powerful ways. Once the domain of environmental scientists, GIS is increasingly being utilized in other areas such as city planning, political science, social sciences, Big Data, archaeology, history, asset management and many more. This course introduces GIS as a powerful tool that any professional can utilize as they enter the Information Age.
