Computer-Aided Technology - Geographic Information System, A.A.S.

Geographic information system (GIS) technicians are in high demand. And, you could be, too, with an associate degree from Oklahoma City Community College. Essentially, GIS is a computer system designed to capture, store and manipulate geographically referenced information. It allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns and trends in the form of maps, reports, and charts. Banks, media outlets, municipalities, government agencies, oil and gas companies, scientists, researchers and engineering firms use GIS. And, these entities all rely on skilled technicians to keep up with the constant changes in technology. You could be mapping the world, with an associate degree in applied science in geographic information systems from OCCC.
