SURVEYING TECHNOLOGY, A.S.C.T.

• Hands-on, real world projects using levels, total station robots, GPS, 3D laser scanners, and several kinds of computer drafting software. 
• Students can participate in professional networking events through the student club and the Indiana Society of Professional Land Surveyors. 
• Students also participate in internship/job networking events.

• As one of the few universities in the United States offering a degree in Surveying, the focus of Vincennes University's Surveying Technology Program is to encourage, educate and train, and expand the participation of younger individuals in a profession where the average age of practitioners is 55.  As existing surveyors retire and technology advances, opportunities within the profession are more broad and numerous than ever.
• With 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.
• The 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 $50,000 - $60,000 a year.

This degree can leads to survey crew field chief, project managers, and eventually professional licensure as a surveyor.  Surveyors can work in private engineering/construction companies or any number of governmental agencies (Bureau of Land Managemet, US Forestry Service, Army Corp of Engineers, County Surveyor Offices, etc.).  Projects include building construction, utilities, roadways and railways, land development, sports complex development, mining, parcel boundary establishment, and many more.
