As part of CUNY's license agreement with ESRI, the producers of ArcGIS software, current memebers of the CUNY community are entitled to take a number of online, self-paced, and free GIS courses offered through ESRI's Virtual Campus network. I have received permission to act as an administrator for these courses for the Baruch community.
Current students, faculty, and staff members of the Baruch community can get information about the requirements and procedures for registering for the courses, as well as a list of available courses, from the ESRI Virtual Campus Courses at Baruch page on the library's website. Feel free to refer interested Baruch patrons to this resource.
To take the courses, you would create an ESRI training account on their website and then follow the instructions on the Courses at Baruch page for requesting courses from me: francis_donnelly@baruch.cuny.edu. I will email the course codes so you can register through the ESRI training website. To take take the courses, you need access to the ArcGIS software (students can access it from several labs on campus) and media for storing the data files used in the courses.
For more information on GIS at Baruch, and resources for GIS education and data, visit the recently updated Geography and GIS Subject Guide.
