The implementation of the Bachelor of Cartography and Remote Sensing Study Program (CRSP) is based on Program Educational Objectives that have been strategically formulated to produce competent and quality graduates, namely those proficient in the fields of Cartography, Remote Sensing, and Geographic Information Systems, and possessing good personal qualities. The CRSP curriculum is designed to span 8 semesters (4 years), and currently, the study program applies 2 types of curriculums: the 2017 curriculum for students from the 2017/2018 to the 2021/2022 academic years, and the 2022 curriculum for students from the 2022/2023 to the 2026/2027 academic years. This adjustment was made in 2022 as part of the continuous improvement process and to better align with the implementation of the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program. The courses and practicums offered by CRSP are structured to provide comprehensive education in the field of Geographic Information Science, while personality development is supported through various courses such as Religious Education, Soft Skills, Pancasila, Citizenship, Entrepreneurship, and Contextual Religious Studies.
The total number of credits required for graduation varies depending on the student’s cohort year. Students who enrolled before the 2020/2021 academic year must complete a minimum of 144 credits and a maximum of 155 credits to graduate. Meanwhile, students who enrolled in the 2020/2021 academic year and thereafter are required to complete a minimum of 149 credits with a maximum of 169 credits. In the 2022 curriculum, CRSP students are required to complete 116 credits of compulsory courses, comprising 85 credits of theory and 16 credits of practicum subjects. Additionally, elective courses totaling 82 credits are offered, with 62 credits allocated to theory and 20 credits to practicum subjects. The ratio between compulsory and elective courses is approximately 55:45. The list of courses offered by CRSP in the 2022 curriculum is presented in the following Table:

Regarding the implementation of the MBKM program, CRSP also offers flexibility for students to participate through 4 types of Learning Activities: student exchange programs, independent projects/studies, internships, and research. Students are eligible to join the MBKM program starting from Semester 6. The amount of credit that students will receive depends on the number of hours of activity implementation.
