Surveying Technology Program Recommended Sequence of Courses
Students interested in a suggested order for taking classes in this program, please view the recommended course sequence below.
A certificate of achievement will be awarded upon fulfillment of 26.5 units of Surveying Technology Core Requirements with a grade of "C" or better. To receive an Associate's Degree in Surveying Technology, additional coursework up to 60+ units is necessary to satisfy general education requirements. Consult a counselor for courses required for an associate’s degree.
It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center and ASSIST websites to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.
Later this Summer the Survey Technology Certificate will be updated to the following:
The Certificate Links and Flowchart below will be updated once the changes are official.

Course Prerequisites and Advisories:
Courses in a program of study may have prerequisites or advisories; that is, courses that must or should be completed before taking that course. Please check for prerequisites or advisories by clicking on the course numbers in the Program Requirements section.
Notes:
It is recommended that students who have not had high school courses in mathematics through plane geometry take the Math placement test and enroll in an appropriate course (eg. CSKLS 371, CSKLS 372, MATH 150A & B, or MATH 151) prior to enrolling in certificate program courses.
For students with limited computer literacy, CS 101A OR CS 101B is recommended. Please contact the department or a counselor for more information.
