About Us
Departments such as Political Science, Sociology, Economics and Interdisciplinary Studies all have been supported by the facilities in the GIS Lab. Relationships with other departments such as Biology, Meteorology, Geology, Classics, Anthropology, Archaeology and others have been established and all these departments have taken advantage of lab resources and software.
The College of Social Sciences in partnership with the Institute of Science and Public Affairs has made considerable investment in the areas of software, hardware and human capital to accomplish this mission.
There are multiple GIS Lab facilities located in the Bellamy Building in rooms 320 and 035. Other facilities exist within the Bellamy building that are used by graduate students in Urban Planning, Geography and other departments.
Student Copy of ArcGIS
Download the ArcGIS PRO application (Not Desktop)
Download the ArcGIS Pro Patch. This program should be downloaded and run after the ArcGIS Pro program has been installed to fix a crash with symbology.
One year student licenses for ArcGIS Desktop are no longer supported by ESRI for our institution. We recommend you use ArcGIS Pro. Pro requires an account on the FSU ArcGIS On-Line (AGOL) portal. You can request an account via email to slewers@fsu.edu
