The educational requirements to become licensed as a professional land surveyor are established by the LA Professional Engineering and Land Surveying Board. At least one course in Real Estate/Real Property law is now required by LAPELS. This may be satisfied by either taking undergraduate course work in the Finance Department or by graduate course work by admittance into the Law School. Students completing this minor along with a baccalaureate degree in any curriculum meet these requirements.
Support for this Minor provided by Microsearch Corp. in the form of free licensing of their GeoLab surveying software.
