Three of our GIS courses are offered in a 'distance learning' format. The fourth, GEOG-587, has a one-week field work requirement. Students work from a Course Guide binder mailed to them or downloaded via the Internet. Faculty and students communicate primarily by e-mail. All materials and communication are in English. Students receive highly personalized instruction to supplement their readings, self-studies, e-chats, group exercises, Internet-based software training, and other assignments.
