IMPORTANT DATESStart Dates:Spring semester - January 9, 2012 SMU GIS NEWS"Virtual Campus courses have helped RA learners to stay atop the GIS technology field by helping to make the educational instructional offerings by the Department of Resource Analysis among the best in the country, and its alumni leaders in professional GIS technology applications." Switzerland Initiative
"The Resource Analysis Program at SMU can open up many doors for people in the information field. With the computer experience I received at St. Mary's I was able to first get a job at IBM in Rochester as a networkstation tester and then with that experience I was able to get a great job making very good money at 3com. What I'm getting at is, with the knowledge and experience you gain from the resource analysis grad program you don't have to limit yourself to just the GIS field. There are many skills that I picked up in the program that proved very helpful in the information technology world. Not to mention all the fun I had along the way." - Brendan Brooks READ ALL TESTIMONIALS |
