Important note for geospatial classes: Because of the time committment required for the technology-based classes, we do not recommend taking more than one geospatial technology class in the same semester and that you follow the proper sequence (please note the pre-reqs). It may be possible to take two, but you need to be aware of the additional time this will require.​​
