GIS Classes
College of the Environment Geospatial Courses
The College of the Environment offers a number of courses in GIS, remote sensing, and quantitative analysis. Registration for many of the GIS courses is restricted to CENV majors only during the first phase of registration. In addition, many upper-level GIS courses are restricted to students who have been accepted into the ENVS - GIS Emphasis major or the GIS Certificate program during the first stage of registration.
Students are encouraged to apply to these degrees as soon as possible to obtain priority registration status.
