Re: [okgis] Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education approved OCCC GIS Program.

I would never discourage anyone from taking the OCCC GIS Program.  Since I
cannot travel to OKC on a regular
basis, I am taking the GIS Masters Program (Certification is available as
well) from Penn State University.  It has
been very good.  I would recommend it to anyone.

Hello GIS Community,

I wanted to update everyone on the new GIS Program at Oklahoma City
Community College.

I want to thank everyone that served on our planning committee last year.
It has been a long and rewarding process.
The Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education approved our request to
offer an AAS degree and a Certificate in Geographic Information System
(GIS).  The degree plans can be viewed online.

http://www.occc.edu/CourseCatalog/GIS-Mastery.pdf

Three of the new classes will be offered in the spring.
      ·         Introduction to GPS                        (Spring 2009 –
      Monday /Wednesday at 4:00 pm)
      ·         Introduction to GIS                         (Spring 2009 –
      Monday at 5:30 pm)
      ·         Introduction to Spatial Analyst   (Fall 2009)
      ·         Plane Surveying
      (Spring 2009 – Saturday 9:00 am)
To support the classes we have purchased ArcInfo 9.3, 18 Trimble GPS units
with ArcPad & Pathfinder Office, a Nikon Total Station, and several Recon
data collectors.

If you have any questions, ideas or comments please send me an email.
