This course introduces the methods used in geographic research, beginning with hypothesis formulation, review of literature, research design, gathering and analysis of data from a spatial perspective, and the analysis, interpretation and presentation of research results. Students are exposed to both quantitative and qualitative methods commonly used in geographic research, and are expected to have basic proficiency in spreadsheets, word processing and presentation software. IRBs and Grant Writing are also covered. The course is an essential prerequisite for GEOG 4990, Senior Seminar in Geography, which should be taken in the following semester.
Prerequisite:
CJ 3600 and GEOG 2790 and GERT 3600 and MATH 1040 and MATH 1160 and PSY 3600 and SOC 3600 and SW 3600

Cartography and Map Design is an essential component of geospatial knowledge and skills and anchors all research, presentation, publication, decision-making, and output from Geospatial Technologies. This course will cover geovisualization topics such as map components, projections, symbols, scale, grid systems, direction, coordinates, distance, relief, color, patterns, and the map design process. You can expect to work with Geographic Information Systems (GIS), though no previous experience is necessary. After finishing this course, you'll be able to study, understand, analyze, interpret, and especially construct good maps. Advanced work required for upper division credit.

Increasingly, geospatial professionals count both programming and web methods among their most useful skill sets, and employers often list them as highly desirable. This course focuses on two essential components of that geographic online experience: geospatial programming and online methods. This class is conducted in the Python programming language, but no previous experience is required. The first half of the course is devoted to helping students learn Python, while the second half is focused on applications of Python in the geospatial domain, including ESRI's ArcPy, Open Source Modules, and custom web mapping solutions. With these tools, students will be able to solve geospatial problems, extend functionality, and streamline/automate GIS workflows through the creation and modification of Python scripts.
Prerequisite:
GEO 4200
