This course serves as an introduction to the study of regional geography at the global scale. Students will become familiar with the basic concepts in geography, the topic of uneven development, and the factors (landforms, climate, population, resources, culture, economic activity and historical evolution) that affect uneven development within and among all the world’s major regions. A distance-learning (DL) version of World Regional Geography is available. Students taking the Web-based version of the course must be familiar with computers, have an e-mail address, and access to the Internet. Course content is identical to that presented in a traditional classroom setting. Examinations for distance-learning courses are administered at the Testing Center.

This course introduces the fundamentals of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) including basic cartographic principles, map scales, coordinate systems and map projections. The uses of hardware and software elements that emphasize vector-based data structures using ArcView Spatial Analysis extension are explored. Various applications of GIS technology used in science, business and government are presented. Specific topics addressed include GIS terminology, raster and vector data structures, data sources and accuracy, methods of data conversion and input, requirements for metadata, working spatial databases (map features and attribute tables), spatial analysis (map overlays, buffers, networks). The above topics are reinforced in a laboratory with hands-on exercises on the use of map scales, coordinate systems, data sources and accuracy, data structures, working with spatial data, map features and attributes, map overlays, manipulation of data bases, creation of charts and graphs, and presentation of data in map overlays. A distance-learning (DL) version of Introduction to GIS is available. Students taking the Web-based version of the course must be familiar with computers, have an e-mail address, and access to the Internet. Course content is identical to that presented in a traditional classroom setting. Examinations for distance-learning courses are administered at the Testing Center.
