[OKGIS] TCC GIS Courses

[kallen at tulsacc.edu]

Just a quick reminder that Tulsa Community College is offering GIS courses 
next fall (August). These courses are a part of the new GIS Certificate
of Completion. Registration for these courses is now open (see 
www.tulsacc.edu for information on registration).  Three of these courses, 
Geo 2344, Geo 2354, and GIS 2383, will be offered as blended classes. A 
blended class is one that meets one night a week on campus. All subsequent 
class time is served via the Internet.

 For more information on the GIS Certificate or the classes please feel 
free to contact me at 918- 595-7085 or kallen at tulsacc.edu. 

The following is a list of the courses to be offered:
