The AS-T in Geology provides students with a strong academic foundation in the field
and preparation for upper division baccalaureate study. Students who have completed
the AS-T in Geology will have satisfied the lower division requirements for transfer
into Geology or a similar major for many campuses in the California State University
system. Please consult a GCC counselor regarding specific course requirements for
your transfer institution.
Requirements to earn an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT): 1. Completion of 60 semester
units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University,

point average of 2.0.
Program Learning Outcomes: Upon completion of this program, the student will be able to develop foundational
knowledge to be able to use evidence-based approaches to explore and evaluate global
issues such as natural disaster preparation, energy, resources, and climate; and apply
reasoning to evaluate hypotheses and theories; analyze, interpret, and present research
evidence.
