Delta College, a community college in Michigan will be offering a new GIS course winter semester 2013 and perhaps a follow up if there is interest.
Wendy Baker, associate professor of biology at Delta, was granted a sabbatical to take the lead in developing the two new classes but she won't be teaching them. The class is open to any student who has the computer prerequisite CST 133, or equivalent skills that must meet the approval of course instructor Anne Wooden.
