Students who want to earn a bachelor's degree in land surveying and mapping sciences often come to the program through two-year training programs or to update their knowledge and practices to be able to take leadership positions. Through coursework and fieldwork, you'll hone your skills in mathematics, cartography and the use of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS); use the latest survey instruments; and study boundary law changes and new site development techniques. Laboratories and fieldwork will provide opportunities to practice in the evolving field of geomatics, or the art and science of determining the measurable points on, above or under the Earth's surface.
