Geography and Remote Sensing Courses

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.

MREB’s  GIS Certificate Program is designed to provide participants 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 course can be applied in any discipline in both the public and private sectors.
