Land Surveying Graduate Certificate

The Biosystems Engineering and Soil Science Department offers a graduate certificate in land surveying. The program is designed for working engineering or technology professionals interested in obtaining licensure to practice land surveying. The program consists of six or more three-hour graduate courses, some of which are available through distance education.

The graduate certificate is earned by completing 18 hours from the following courses with a grade of B or better: BSET 412  (3); BSET 435  (3); BSET 534  (3); BSE 555  or BSET 555  (3); BSET 562  (6); and BSE 562  (3). The hours may later be applied toward a graduate degree if the student is admitted into the BSET degree program and meets all other degree requirements.

Applicants must meet the minimum admission requirements and be admitted to the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, Graduate School. The only academic prerequisite for the certificate program is a bachelor’s degree from a recognized university or college.
