University of California, Los Angeles College of Letters and Science 36 courses
The Engineering Geology major is a designated capstone major. Students are required to use skill and knowledge sets from previous coursework to complete a field-based research project from conception to written report. Projects must be placed into context within the current state of understanding, and results are presented at a research symposium or published as a brief report.
