Surveying is a timeless career. Its beginnings date back to early scientists and explorers who used crude tools and methods to map their surroundings. Driven by man’s desire to own real property and the need for description of its bounds and locations, surveying is a career that is a critical component of modern society.

The Surveying program serves three distinct purposes:

  1. Provides students having little or no experience with the skills needed for employment as a surveyor;

  2. Gives those already working in the profession additional knowledge needed to prepare for their professional licensing examinations; and

  3. Gives licensed professionals opportunities for upgrade training on new issues and equipment in surveying.

Courses are taught in the evening to accommodate students already working in the profession. Each aspect of the surveying profession is taught by an instructor with specialized expertise in that area.

Salt Lake Community College is the only school in the state that offers a degree in Surveying. The instructors in the program are all experienced, licensed surveyors and are members of the Utah Council of Land Surveyors.
