For training on the client-side GIS products (ArcGIS Desktop), there are many other options available on campus. For self-paced training, the ESRI Virtual Campus offers online courses in all the ESRI GIS software. Virtual Campus training is free to faculty and staff as part of our higher education site license. Contact Kathy Williams in IT Acquisitions for a course code.

There are also a number of introductory-level GIS courses taught for credit on campus in any given semester. Faculty and staff may also audit these classes. Here is a listing of GIS courses at Virginia Tech
