He also says there is an Applied Bachelor of GIS through SAIT. Does anyone know anything about this program? Any opinions on what would be better, U of C or SAIT?
What do you think of this as a career in general?
Thanks!

I have worked in GIS for 14 years and love the field. I have a B.Sc in Geography from U of C but GIS wasn't a major focus when I was there. When hiring, candidates from SAIT are hit and miss... if he really wants to learn GIS send him to COGS after he gets his undergrad degree
http://www.cogs.ns.ca/, he will be pretty much guaranteed a job on graduation from there. U of L has an very good GIS program as well.
If you or him have any questions feel free to PM me and I'll be more than happy to answer them.
