Charter Oak State College partners with
Connecticut Association of Land
Surveyors
to offer a Certificate in Land
Surveying
Charter Oak State College, in partnership with the Connecticut
Association of Land Surveyors (CALS), will be offering a Certificate in Land
Surveying. In addition, members of CALS will develop a Boundary Law course that
will be offered online through Charter Oak starting in the Spring of 2009.
Charter Oak State College (www.charteroak.edu), with administrative offices
in New Britain, CT, is uniquely qualified to grant credits for courses taken at
other educational institutions. Students may take courses at any
educational institution, or get credit for courses already taken at other
schools. All courses required for the awarding of the Certificate in Land
Surveying, except one, are currently offered in Connecticut. Individuals
taking the Boundary Law course will benefit from being able to take the course
from anywhere – since the computer is the student’s classroom for this
online course.
Charter Oak State College, which is accredited by the New England Association
of Schools and Colleges, has earned national recognition as the college that
offers "degrees without boundaries." A public college in the
Connecticut state system of higher education, Charter Oak provides degree
completion and online learning opportunities for adults who are busy fulfilling
commitments to career and family.
As proposed by CALS, the Land Surveying Certificate will be offered to those
who show successful completion of the following seven three-credit courses:
Introduction to Surveying, Advanced Surveying, Boundary Law, Introduction to
CAD, Introduction to Statistics, Introduction to GIS, and Introduction to GPS.
CALS will coordinate with Charter Oak to work out credit for Introduction to
Surveying with a CST Level 2 certification, and both Introduction and Advanced
Surveying courses with a CST Level 3 certification, LSIT or PLS.
Applicants will work with Charter Oak to certify the courses they have taken and
develop a plan to earn the Land Surveying Certificate.
CALS would like to thank the following individuals who, working on the
workforce development committee, developed this idea into reality, including
Lawrence Geissler, Peter DeMallie, Reese Roberts, David Palmberg, John
Wagenblatt, Andrew Tupper and Jay Doody. The CALS Professional Development
Committee will work closely with COSC to develop the program details, ensure
that all colleges and universities allow our members to take the required
courses, and develop a first-rate boundary law course on line. Any CALS member
interested in participating in this project please contact Jay Doody at jjdoody@snet.net.
