The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Certificate program provides specialized training in a technical, computer-based environment. Geospatial technologies, such as Geographic Information Systems or Global Positioning Systems, are powerful data-procession and mapping tools that are increasingly used by mainstream public professions, such as health care, law enforcement, and city planning, as well as in highly technical areas, such as military defense. Students who have a keen interest in working with computers as a career or who are pursing work with populations, human or non-human, can be well-served with a GIS certificate.

Our 16-credit Geographic Information Systems Certificate is a perfect fit for students who are majoring in a different program area yet want to know the basics of GIS. The GIS certificate program nicely compliments a degree in Environmental Science, Law Enforcement, Art, Business, Human Services, Electric Utility Technology, Health Sciences, or American Indian Studies.

Here is a short video featuring degree program graduate Jesse Pruette as he explains his experience with the program’s advantages and unique opportunities.

Testimonials

It is awesome here at the FDLTCC Education Program because it is like a family here, if you need help or are struggling with anything, you have quite a few people who will help you out.

My favorite thing about FDLTCC is the people. I’ve met fantastic students, faculty and staff who go above and beyond what I expected.

I chose FDLTCC because of its size and the curriculum. When I first came here in 2019, I was just looking for what I needed to volunteer, perhaps in a crisis shelter. I met with Don Jarvinen, and the rest is history.
