Surveying and Mapping Emphasis

The Surveying and Mapping emphasis is for industrial technology majors who want to become Registered Professional Land Surveyors (RPLS). A four year degree with an emphasis in surveying allows student to take the state RPLS exam without two years of experience under an RPLS. The surveying and mapping program is an articulated program with Tyler Junior College (TJC). A block of 30-41 hours’ worth of surveying and mapping course work is transferred from TJC for the Program Core Curriculum.
