Interdisciplinary Minor in GIS
An interdisciplinary GIS Minor was created for Cal Poly Pomona students whose majors include civil engineering, business, design, science, urban planning, education, agriculture and geography, in an effort to create a GIS-literate campus. The minor serves students who are interested in the application of GIS to their area of knowledge, or who seek to develop their skills in GIS-related areas.
The minor provides students with the knowledge and skills required to utilize GIS applications in their respective
fields.
Components of the program include:
- data acquisition and manipulation
- development of spatial thinking and visualization skills
- creation of models and use of analytic methods
- programming
- problem solving using applied GIS technology
- learning to create effective output
- process management
- GIS theory and ethics
- interdisciplinary focus
The GIS minor provides fundamentals of GIS for students without previous work in GIS, but allows for modifications to the core for students with prior experience.
