GIS in California Community Colleges
California Community Colleges, California State University campuses, government agencies, and private industry are cooperating in the development of fully transferable GIS courses. Four lower division GIS courses will be offered at the freshman and sophomore level using Esri products. The two sophomore level courses will be the first fully transferable courses in the program. Cypress College and Saddleback College, in cooperation with California State University, Dominguez Hills, Fullerton, and Long Beach, with full participation by representatives of government agencies and private industry, have written these courses synchronized with the newly emerging National Science Foundation GIS curriculum, managed by the National Center for Geographic Analysis, and developed for the Community College Technical Program. Cooperative community college, university, government agency, and private industry planning and organization modes will be reviewed. Basic course content, operating philosophy, and student
projects will be discussed.
