The online undergraduate Certificate in Surveying Engineering Technology (SVT) is designed to fit a national niche for professionals seeking licensure as land surveyors. The program is designed to serve those who have entered the surveying profession with a degree that is not surveying engineering technology, and their path to licensure requires a core group of surveying classes. It also serves those professional in states where a degree is not required for licensure, and instead a core curriculum is necessary which will be satisfied by the certificate. The certificate can serve as a stepping stone into the current online BS degree in surveying engineering technology (SVT).
