DEGREE:Bachelor of Science in Surveying
Surveyors apply principles of mathematics and science to the measurements and analysis of phenomena on or near the Earth's surface. Land surveyors must also apply legal principles to the interpretation and location of property boundaries.
The surveying degree program is ABET accredited and, as such, covers the following topics in its Core Program: (1) field surveying instruments and methods; (2) photogrammetric mapping, image interpretation, and remote sensing; (3) surveying calculations and data adjustments; (4) geodetic coordinates and astronomy; (5) cartographic representation, projections, and map production; (6) computer-based multipurpose cadastre, geographic information systems.
The degree offered is Bachelor of Science in Surveying, but the curriculum meets the requirements for Bachelor of Science in Surveying Engineering.
