GIS is everywhere now. In fact, in many environmental and natural resource management careers, knowing GIS is as important as knowing word-processing or spreadsheet software. If you like maps and satellite or aerial photos, chances are you think geospatially. If you ponder geographic interactions locally, regionally or even globally, learning GIS is a must. WVU is the place for you not only to learn these tools and methods, but to build experience and prepare for an interesting and exciting career.
