There are a number of GIS tools available on the market. As a UTA student, you have access to ArcGIS Online through your web browser or ArcGIS Desktop 10.8.2 on the computers in the Day Family Research Lab located on the fifth floor of the Central Library. There is also an open source product called QGIS which is free for anyone to use.
ArcGIS Pro is the newest installed software offered by Esri, but it is not available to UTA students for free at this time. Student licenses are available if you would like an installed version on your own device, but you must cover the cost.
