As existing surveyors retire and technology advances, opportunities within the profession are more broad and numerous than ever.\n\nWith several degree options available, including a 1 year Certificate of Graduation, a 2 year Associate's of Science Career/Technical Degree, and a 4 year Surveying Management Technology Bachelor's Degree, there is a way for anyone to get their start in the industry.\n\nThe small class sizes (12-16 students), access to current equipment and software, and many lab hours spent on real-world projects produce graduates that are highly sought after by industry employers.  Internships and employment is facilitated by the program, with recent graduates reporting earning in the range of $18 - $22 an hour.\n\nGraduates are qualified to start working with surveying/civil engineering firms or governmental agencies (typically under the supervision of a licensed surveyor or engineer), where it is reported they are promoted to crew leader positions within about 6 - 18 months.  Career opportunities include:\n\nField technicians who operate equipment such as automatic levels, standard and robotic total stations, survey-grade GPS, 3D laser scanners, and drones.\n\nComputer Aided Drafting technicians who perform designing and mapping.\n\nResearchers who research and analyze public and private documents as they pertain to surveying activities.\n\nA combination of all three.\n\nProfessional Licensure is possible upon meeting all state requirements.  Once licensed, you may start your own surveying company or continue to work for others.  The expected salary of newly licensed individuals can begin at approximately $60,000 a year and grow to $100,000+, depending on the company and location."},"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://my.vinu.edu/surveying","ceterms:audienceLevelType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/AudienceLevel","ceterms:targetNode":"audLevel:UndergraduateLevel","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Audience Level"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Undergraduate Level"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Intended for those who are enrolled in a degree program or other formal program at or below the baccalaureate, such as an associate’s degree, vocational, or technical program."}}],"ceterms:estimatedDuration":[{"@type":"ceterms:DurationProfile","ceterms:exactDuration":"P2Y"}],"ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}],"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=55","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=15.1102","ceterms:codedNotation":"15.1102","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Surveying Technology/Surveying"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"A program that prepares individuals to apply mathematical and scientific principles to the delineation, determination, planning and positioning of land tracts, land and water boundaries, land contours and features; and the preparation of related maps, charts and reports.
