The major in geography and land surveying is based on an agreement between the Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC)-Catonsville and Towson University. Most students complete the associate鈥檚 degree in Engineering Technology with a Land Surveying concentration at CCBC-Catonsville before enrolling at Towson University. Sixty-four credits of coursework taken at CCBC will transfer to 黑料吃瓜网 and most general education requirements will be satisfied.
