This degree requires students to complete 60 CSU transferable units including completion of CSU GE or IGETC and 26 units in the major with a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or better. Title 5 requires that students earn a grade of C or better in all major coursework. There are no additional graduation requirements. Students with a degree in geology may pursue careers in a variety of industries such as education, environmental technology, mineral (fossil fuels, metals) discovery and extraction, archeology, research, and more. The Geology AS-T Degree requires a total of 26 units of required courses as indicated below. Recommended courses are not required for the degree but are highly recommended if you plan to pursue the Bachelor's in Science degree in geology.
