Students in the surveying program may choose from two different
emphasis areas: surveying professional practice or surveying engineering. In
both emphasis areas, the curriculum integrates material from mathematics,
geography, and surveying with the goal of producing graduates capable of incorporating
data from multiple sources into a database useful for land-use management.
DEGREE: Bachelor of Science in Surveying (Total credits 135)
Students choosing this curriculum may earn a B.S. in Engineering Technology
(Civil Option) in three more semesters.
