Geology, AS-T

Geology, AS-T

The Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer degree prepares students for transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a baccalaureate degree in a geoscience major. Geoscientists find employment with environmental companies that clean up and monitor pollution problems. Geotechnical companies also employ geoscientists to evaluate risk from earthquakes, landslides, and other geological hazards. Oil and mining companies employ geoscientists to find new resources. The federal, state, county, and city governments also employ geoscientists for many of the same functions, as well as for geoscience research, and to monitor compliance with environmental regulations. Universities, colleges, and museums offer opportunities for teaching and/or research. Successful completion of the Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer guarantees the student acceptance to a California State University campus to pursue a baccalaureate degree in geology or a related field. While it does not guarantee the student acceptance to the University of California system, it does provide the major preparation needed by geology students transferring to a University of California campus in geology or related fields.
