Choosing A Surveying Program From Orangeburg
The subject matter does not change by location: boundary law, geodesy, photogrammetry and remote sensing, GIS, and land development design. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from ABET, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
