ABET accredits 26 programs in Surveying and Geomatics, Surveying and Geomatics Engineering and Surveying and Geomatics Engineering Technology.

http://main.abet.org/aps/AccreditedProgramSearch.aspx/AccreditationSearch.aspx

Two universities not on that list are Ohio State and Purdue. While not offering the above degrees, both however have Geomatics minors for their ABET accredited Civil Engineering BS. In addition both offer MS and PhD programs, ABET does not accredit MS and PhD prohrams.

I assume there are other ABET accredited engineering colleges which offer more than 2 Geomatics or Surveying courses but do not offer Geomatics or Surveying degree programs.

Some states, PA included, accept a BS CE with as few as 10 surveying credits as minimal requirements for the PLS.

Is anyone familiar with any other colleges or minimalist states?

Our one University here in Georgia that offered a degree in Surveying is now defunct. Southern Polytechnic State University has been absorbed into a liberal arts university. I have no idea if they will continue the program, but I certainly hope so. I would imagine that better than 60% of the licensees in Georgia attended Southern Tech at some time.

Southern Polytechnic State University Site Still Works

So I assume it is still going strong.

In addition Middle Georgia State College has an AS program

I have the BS in civil engineering from Purdue as well as the minor in land surveying (it is unfortunate that the offering of the minor might be dying out). This is sufficient to sit for the exams in Indiana.

However, I work in New Jersey and they require a 4 year ABET degree in surveying... thus I had to go back to school. Luckily I had about 90 credits transfer so it was about 2 years of classes part time (and all at night too yay!).

I know Michigan Tech and Ferris State are alive and well in MI (Tech alumni here '77). New Mexico State is strong, heard good things about both Purdue and Ohio St (but they're in the B1G, so I don't like them :-O ).

AZ had Phoenix College, but nixed the program due to lack of interest. No degree requirement in AZ. NV had a school I can't recall, but nixed the degree requirement because people gave up or something... Oddly, CA has no degree requirement.
