Geology Department

The Geology Certificate curriculum is designed to provide students a basic knowledge in geological sciences and skills, which facilitate paraprofessional employment such as geological technician and geological field assistant.

The Associate of Science Transfer Degree in Geology curriculum is designed to prepare students for studying Geology at most universities. This program will enable students to develop a strong foundation in geology, physics, chemistry, and mathematics. Furthermore, the theoretical knowledge and laboratory skills acquired by students in this program will also enhance their success with obtaining entry-level jobs that require two years of college-level science and math.
