Many women have built highly successful careers in Geographic Information Systems. Female students who apply themselves and do well in school should have no problem finding employment, since this field is growing rapidly. The GIS program offers multiple opportunities for hands-on internship experiences with employers while you are in school through GIS Work-Field Experience classes (GISG 270). These on-site learning experiences sometimes result in employment offers and look great on your resume! There are also Women in GIS Associations.
