LAND SURVEYING

Concentration in the Geography Major

The Department of Geography, in conjunction with the Community College of Baltimore County at Catonsville, is pleased to offer a new program in Land Surveying. The new program meets the professional requirements for the land surveyor in the State of Maryland.

Students electing the 2+2 program (2 years at CCBC and 2 years at TU) must first complete the Associate of Arts degree in Land Surveying at CCBC and then enroll at Towson University to complete a B.S. in Geography. All surveying courses taken at CCBC will transfer to TU, however Towson will only accept a total of 64 credits in transfer. General Education requirements not completed prior to enrollment at Towson will be completed at TU.
