BS in Surveying and Mapping Science

Surveying is a rapidly developing profession that focuses on the location of various land use rights and the boundaries between them. Consequently surveying is often considered to be a quasi-judicial profession. Like most professional fields, surveying is grounded in the sciences, notably the sciences of mathematics and measurement theory. Perhaps to a greater extent than many other professions, surveying is being rapidly affected by new technological changes, such as GPS, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), computerized mapping, robotics, scanning, and wireless communications.
