The Associate in Science for Transfer degree in Geology provides students with the foundational knowledge necessary to make a successful transition into a Baccalaureate Degree at any of the CSU campuses. The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a special degree offered at California Community Colleges. Students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to a campus within the California State University (CSU) system in a similar major, although not necessarily to a specific campus. Students who complete an AA-T or AS-T are given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student’s community college major and will be given a special GPA advantage when applying to CSU-impacted campuses or majors. Students who are planning to pursue an AA-T or AS-T are strongly advised to meet with a counselor for additional information about this transfer program.

The Earth/Physical Science department offers courses in astronomy, geology, and physical science. These courses are intended for students who wish to pursue a degree in teaching and those who wish to major in geology.

If you care about the earth, are fascinated by the natural world, enjoy working outdoors, and like science, then geology is the program for you. Geology is the study of the earth, its structure, the materials from which it is made, its physical, chemical, and biological forces – and its 4.5 billion-year history.

The program is designed for students transferring to a 4-year school to complete their BS degree in Geology or Earth Science. It allows students to complete the first 2 years of the BS degree at the community college.

Geology is the study of the Earth, its rocks, and how they change over time. Geology students explore the Earth's crust movement, the history of life on Earth, and past climates. It is vital for mineral and fossil fuel exploration, managing water resources, and solving environmental problems.

Geology is the study of the Earth. Geologists apply a wide range of scientific ideas and techniques to understand both the processes that are changing the planet today as well as those that have shaped it—and the life it supports—during the past 4.6 billion years.

Geology is the study of the composition, structure, and evolution of the Earth. It is an interdisciplinary science that combines geological observations and concepts with biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics.

Geoscience is an area of science that is becoming more popular as concerns about our environment and our planet move increasingly to the forefront of our daily news. Topics such as climate change, weather abnormalities, and natural disasters are phenomena the geoscientist investigates.

Do you enjoy working outside? Are you interested in natural hazards, energy resources, or cleaning up the environment? If so, a geology degree may be for you.

Do you enjoy studying the natural world around you and also have an investigative knack to problem-solve? Then a career in the geology field sounds like a fit for your interests.
