ICYMI: North Country Public Radio spoke with Ranger School teacher and alumnus Jeremy Thompson about the critical need for land surveyors and where the profession can take you!

We're proud of our wonderful students and alumni who make waves in the industry after receiving our rigorous education. Know any students who are looking for success and adventure? Our program might be for them!

The number of land surveyors who retire each year in the U.S. is about double the number that come into the profession.
