GIS Education in the Rockies for Traditional and Nontraditional Students
It is evident along the front range of Colorado, the Rockies, and elsewhere that Geographic Information System (GIS) technology is growing in popularity and acceptance. GIS technology has permeated every enterprise charged with managing or analyzing spatial data in one form or another. This popularity is also evidenced by the number of people seeking traditional and continuing GIS education opportunities. These people are trying to enhance their future employment prospects or gain an understanding of a technology that has become an integral part of the way they do business. The University of Denver is responding to the need for GIS education along the front range of Colorado. Both traditional and continuing education programs are available at the University. The most recent avenue for providing GIS education is being achieved with a Certificate of Advanced Study Program in GIS from Denver University's University College. The purpose of this paper and presentation is to inform GIS practitioners about
Denver University's program to meet the growing GIS educational needs for traditional and nontraditional students in the Rockies.
