what bachelor’s programs actually count as a surveying degree for LSIT?
my state doesn’t even HAVE a college that offers a 4yr, ABET-accredited surveying program. What we do have are forestry, natural resources, geography/GIS, and similar BS programs.
as someone who graduated with a degree in one of the above, and took a field surveying course, does my degree count as a 4yr surveying degree?
Normally I would think not, but my state’s association of land surveyors says this:
“Licensure as a Professional Land Surveyor is required in all fifty states and the U.S. Territories. To obtain licensure, many states require a degree in Surveying and Mapping or related sciences, along with four years experience working under the supervision of a licensed professional land surveyor.
Licensure may also be obtained through extensive experience under a licensed professional or in conjunction with college specializations in any of the following disciplines:
Land Surveying
Forestry
Geographic Information Systems
Geography
Environmental Science
Civil Engineering
Natural Resource Management”
Does anyone have any insight on this? I can’t tell if my degree counts—this could be a big jump in pay if it does.
Edit: also my state doesn’t even ask for ABET accreditation…
