ARC GIS classes through continuing education

The Rutgers Office of Continuing Professional Education will be offering evening classes in GIS this fall:
http://www.cpe.rutgers.edu/environmental/gis-geomatics-courses.html?utm_source=EM-3290+GIS+Fall+2015&utm_campaign=EM-3290+GIS+Fall+2015&utm_medium=email

This is a great alternative if you can't take a full 3-credit GIS course.  I'm currently auditing Fundamentals of Geomatics online (372:232) and it is awesome-very interesting and useful.  I highly recommend it.  The 1-credit lab for this course (573:233) is being offered this fall.  I highly recommend it as well.  I will give you elective credits in the ES major for 372:232 (I believe the course number is changing to 573:232).
 

Interested in the MPH?

[[if you are interested in getting a Master's degree in Public Health (MPH), you should try to attend this fair.  You will learn a lot about the MPH offered through Rutgers, and it will probably help you understand other MPH programs as well.  - Lisa ]]
