Occasionally I have to remind some people that in order to obtain my license I had to attend several years of advanced studies at a university and work under the supervision of many different surveyors, all of which took more than eight years, or roughly the equivalent amount of time required to become a doctor.?ÿ?ÿ
When you mention advanced studies at a university are those master level classes? I have a bachelors degree but was think about taking a few classes offered at my local community college that teach surveying.
Having fun/sarcasm aside.?ÿ Looks to me like 12-15 semester hour credits at community college might do it for you.?ÿ "Board approved" degrees could include yours.?ÿ I would contact the board and ask them.?ÿ
Because you're interested in boundary surveying I would recommend: Measuring America, by Andro Linklater.?ÿ Wealth of information and a bit more enjoyable reading to start off with.
