Transfers ToCSUDescriptionDevelops spatial reasoning skills through a survey of maps, spatial science concepts, and geospatial technologies. Topics include geospatial information, navigation, map projections, symbolization, misuse of maps, and analysis of spatial data. GEOLOGY Geology is the science that studies the earth. These studies includes Earth's formation and composition, the processes that create resources such as fuels, minerals, and construction materials, the energy systems that modify landforms on the crust, the historical evolution of life and global climates, and the continuing interaction between humans and the natural environment. Through lecture, lab and field study, the geology program provides insight, perspective, and application required to assist citizens in making well-informed decisions concerning earth-related issues such as water resources, building and engineering, natural disasters, agriculture and ocean resources, and the long-term effects on our planet from an increasing population. Associate in Science for Transfer Degree: Geology TThe Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act (Senate Bill 1440, now codified in California Education Code sections 66746-66749) guarantees admission to a California State University (CSU) campus for any community college student who completes an "associate degree for transfer", a newly established variation of the associate degrees traditionally offered at a California community college. The Associate in Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor's degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students Santa Clarita Community College District 154 CREDIT PROGRAMS / COURSE DESCRIPTIONS GEOLOGY completing these degrees (AA-T or AS-T) are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn one of these degrees, students must complete: 1. 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CalGETC) 2. Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. Associate Degrees for Transfer also require that students must earn a C, or Pass (P), or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. This degree may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to university or college that is not part of the CSU system. Students should consult with a counselor when planning to complete the degree for more information on university admission and transfer requirements. At the time of catalog publication, a student may earn an AS-T in Geology. Additional majors are being developed. Please see a counselor or visit www.canyons.edu for more informationn. Degree Student Learning Outcome: Students will be able to synthesize information from a variety of sources and disciplines in order to solve geologic problems.
