GEOG 467 Applied Cartographic Design (3)

(BA) This course meets the Bachelor of Arts degree requirements.

The course objective is to immerse the student in applied problems of map production and geographic representation. Topics include advanced software methods for labeling and data editing; advanced symbolization and production of extended map series; conversion between software environments; and representation in multiple media. The challenge of working with clients for mapping are often included in the semester capstone projects. Evaluation is based primarily on map project quality and written reports on project decisions. The 300-level cartography course is a prerequisite for GEOG 467, and an introductory GIS course also provides useful background skills, though it is not a prerequisite. The course is usually offered once a year but may be offered alternating years.
