 Education
Our mission is to advance the use of geographic information science (GISci) at the University of Wyoming by furthering GISci education and training at all academic levels, by pursuing basic and applied research in GISci, and by using GISci technologies for problem-solving within the University and throughout the State and region.
WyGISC has been providing GISci professionals with flexible and comprehensive training for over ten years. We are proud to be an ESRI Authorized Partner Education Center. This designation means is that WyGISC meets ESRI standards for quality and content and we are approved to offer ESRI courses.
WyGISC short courses provide intensive training for GISci related technology and associated software. Courses range in length from one to five days. Courses can either be held on-site or remotely with our mobile teaching lab. WyGISC also develops custom courses to fit the specific training needs.
See Upcoming Events for scheduled courses or register for a short course.
The WyGISC Certificate in GIS has been developed with a goal to provide our students a technician level of knowledge and skills in the use and application of ESRI ArcGIS software products. Students will learn fundamental GIS concepts, and methodology needed to support GIS project operations that can be employed in a variety of areas of public and private sectors.
Periodically WyGISC offers GISci or Remote Sensing related workshops to fill special needs in the GIS community.
The Geospatial Forum is a weekly seminar series that showcases GIScience or remote sensing technology, as well as the use of GIScience in seminar themes such as energy, biogeography, anthropology, geology and geophysics and botany.
Affiliates of the University of Wyoming are eligible to enroll in ESRI's Virtual Campus. This program offers a variety of online courses on ESRI software and GISci technology.
