Incorporating GIS into the Curriculum

In support of the University's core mission, GIS staff closely collaborate with faculty members to introduce and incorporate spatial technologies into course curriculum. The focus of these collaborations are enhancing the learning experience, enabling tangible research, and encouraging the communication of knowledge.

Integrating GIS into Research

The DePauw GIS program grew from a simple effort to support a few faculty members' research projects. Expanding and supporting the application of spatial analytical techniques in faculty members' personal research continues to be a core element of the program.
