Esri Offers Free Access To University, Other Students

Redland-based Esri announced on Thursday that it will provide free access to the company's popular geographical information systems (GIS) software to students 18 yaers and older, including access to both the platform itself as well as lessons. Esri said the Learn ArcGIS Student Program will provide one year of software and lessons to qualified students in any academic program--even if their institution offers no formal courses in GIS. Esri said it is making those resources available to students, as a way to learn independently and acquire additional skills that expand their career options in the digital economy.
