GIS Educational Services
We teach GIS! Whether it be part of our workshop series, a for-credit course, small groups or one-on-one, we help people with GIS theory, spatial analysis and data.
Every Fall and Spring Semester, the UVa Library has a GIS workshop series. All workshops are one hour long and assume no previous GIS experience. Generally, each session is hands-on and teaches on GIS skill or technique. Latest offerings will be available on the GIS LibGuide.
Past offerings materials are available in our Teaching Resources section.
The GIS group provides expert instruction for professors within their classes. We can teach spatial tools and techniques or introduce custom datasets created for individual groups and classes. We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with instructors to broaden students' spatial analysis horizon.
Please contact us for more information.

UVa Courses
To learn GIS, our first and best recommendation is to take an introductory course offered through a several UVa departments. The Departments of Environmental Sciences, Urban + Environmental Planning and the School of Engineering regularly offer GIS courses.
