Geospatial Technology Program "Because everything is somewhere!" A career in Geospatial Technology The student will be able to manipulate, analyze, map and display spatial data and information, combining layers of information about a place to give a better understanding of that place. What layers of information are combined depends on the purpose; finding the best location for a new store, analyzing environmental damage, viewing similar crimes in a city to detect a pattern, and other related uses. The program sequence is set up to allow the student to progress through four semesters and achieve a Certificate of Achievement or an Associate’s Degree in Geospatial Technology. We offer classes at least once per year and accommodate the number of students as best we can. This program also prepares student to transfer to a university to continue their studies. What is Geospatial Technology? Geospatial Technology is one of the fastest growing career fields in North America, with analysis and planning applications in numerous areas. Virtually any agency, business, or organization that utilizes land planning or analysis of business problems to model systems and alternatives before management decisions are implemented can benefit from utilizing geospatial technology to accurately capture and display a variety of geographically related information. Career Options The Bureau of Labor Statistics expects job opportunities in the geospatial field to grow steadily through 2014. The areas of urban planning, architecture, construction, and disaster and emergency planning will be particularly strong.
