The B.S. degree in Land Surveying and Mapping Sciences is accredited by the Applied Science Accreditation Commission (ASAC) of ABET and is the only four-year degree surveying program in the upper mid-west (Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, South Dakota and Wisconsin).
Student's enroll in the B.S. degree program at SCSU after completing a two-year degree program at one of 12 schools that have established articulation agreements with SCSU (List of Schools).
The ASAC ABET accredited program consists of 60 credits of courses in Surveying, GIS, and mathematics and statistics (Course of Study)
SCSU also offers a B.E.S. (Bachelor of Elective Studies) degree program. This program was established for individuals who have worked as surveyors and who either attended or graduated from a school that SCSU does not have an articulation agreement. This degree program is not ASAC ABET accredited, but for many students does provide the necessary education required for career advancement (Course of Study).
For individuals who have a four-year degree in a field related to surveying (e.g. civil engineering) and are seeking to become a licensed surveyor, then the undergraduate certificate program would likely be appropriate for your career advancement (Course of Study).
