Online Classes

Great Basin College has a full online survey program. I am currently attending to get my BS degree. I even verified with the NM Survey Board to make sure that if I had the degree they would accept it and let me take the tests. I also know that someone else applied for approval from Oklahoma, I believe and it was rejected.

That's why I didn't want to go with Great Basin, it seems like their program is not widely accepted/accredited.

A little of topic - but what do you figure the total cost of a Great Basin Degree would be?

Oklahoma State University has a geomatics program at least partly on-line which the OSLS is supportive of. And OK is going to a degree-only requirement.

NJIT... however i believe the only online classes we had available were in Adjustment Computation, but they were very good classes taught by a very good professor. There might be more classes available now however.

Why not send them transcripts and class descriptions and let them review them beforehand before spending the $$$

I actually have one of the board members as a co-worker and he looked over my transcripts and thinks I have it. But from what I understand, it's a lot of personal judgment of whoever's on the board at the time. By the time I'm eligible to apply, he won't be on the board anymore.

I just don't want someone throwing out any borderline classes and then it's another year or more until I can apply. Plus, my company reimburses professional development, so it would essentially cover a 3-credit class each year, costing me nearly $0.00

I believe the Great Basin program would be accepted anywhere except where ABET accreditation is required. My understanding is they are going to seek ABET certification soon. I know of at least 8 states that accept the degree. I haven't heard before of any that specifically would not accept the program. As far as I know there is not another program that is completely available online.

the cost is highly dependent on location. I think mine cost about $10,000 total. I had quite a bit of transfer credits, but I also pay more because I am not in a western state (they treat some states as residents which lowers costs).

My understanding was the opposite, that the program was cancelled and not going to restart...

It wasn't cancelled but put on the list to be cancelled. But that has changed. Elithorp left but have a new director.

Yes, the program was going to be cancelled but they changed their minds. The plan now is to strengthen the program and seek ABET accreditation. It is a really strong program, if anyone does decide to enroll, you will need to work at it.

I'm currently reading "Geodessy for geomatics and GIS professionals" by a James A. Elithorp, Jr.

The same Elithorp, I presume?

It's actually a good textbook.

Yes. That is him. I am using his construction survey book in a GBC class that he wrote. Just started so I can't comment on how good it is.
