Land Surveying Minor


Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: College of Engineering

The Land Surveying (LS) minor is available to any student at Purdue who has met the co- and/or pre-requisites for courses in the LS course sequence. The LS Minor consists of 10 courses (31 credits) plus a summer internship.

When the minor is combined with the BSCE degree program, the minor will likely add 2 to 5 courses to the student’s program of study. Working with an LS advisor during the junior and senior undergraduate years will minimize the impact on the student’s time to graduation.

Once a student has proposed a sequence of courses for the LS minor, the proposal will be submitted to the CE Undergraduate Committee for approval. When the student has successfully completed the approved sequence of courses (earning at least a 2.0 grade point average over the entire sequence), the student will be granted a minor in LS.

The requirements for the LS minor program are outlined as follows:

Core

Note


* These courses are currently offered under the 497 or 597 special study number. Course numbers will be assigned when the course proposals are approved.

The Land Surveying (LS) minor combined with the BSCE degree constitutes a land surveying curriculum approved by the Indiana State Board of Registration for Land Surveyors for admission to the Fundamentals of Surveying registration exam without an additional year of experience beyond the degree.
