It is not a requirement for transfer but may give students an admission advantage at some CSU campuses. Not all CSU campuses accept this degree as fulfillment of lower-di\u0002vision major requirements. Students should meet with a counselor to determine if this degree is a good option for them. Informa\u0002tion on which CSU campuses accept this degree can be found at https://adegreewithaguarantee.com/ PROGRAM INFORMATION Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer Degree (AS-T in Geol\u0002ogy) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor's degree in Geology at a CSU campus. Students completing the AS-T degree in Geology are guaranteed admission to the CSU system, but not necessarily to a particular CSU campus or major of their choice. Students should consult with a counselor for more information on university admission and transfer requirements as this AS-T in Geology may not be the best option for students intending to transfer to a particular CSU campus or to a college or university that is not part of the CSU system. Students can only attain an AS-T degree in Geology if they complete the 28 units required for the major, along with the 37 units using the IGETC GE Plan. To complete the degree, students must fulfill the following Associate Degree for Transfer requirements (pursuant to SB1440): • Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to a California State University. • The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education - Breadth Requirements. • A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. • Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. • A grade of \"C\" or better (or \"P\" if the course is taken on a pass/ no pass basis) in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. Note: Complete either the CSU GE or IGETC general education pattern. Effective Fall 2017, CSU GE Areas A1, A2, A3 and B4 must be completed with a grade of \"C-\" or higher per CSU EO 1100. All courses applied toward IGETC must be completed with a \"C\" or higher per the IGETC Standards. PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOMES Upon completion of this program, students will: • Understand the various scales of change on or near Earth's surface due to tectonic processes. • Recognize the relationship between human needs and activities and the geosphere. • Demonstrate a comprehension of the relationship of geology to other sciences, including chemistry, physics, and biology.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:63b76510-2556-46e3-b1a9-40220ccbfd24"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2016-08-01","ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://programmapper.piercecollege.edu/academics","ceterms:estimatedDuration":[{"@type":"ceterms:DurationProfile","ceterms:exactDuration":"P20M"}],"ceterms:availabilityListing":["https://www.piercecollege.edu"],"ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:instructionalProgramType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/Default.aspx?y=55","ceterms:targetNode":"https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/cipcode/cipdetail.aspx?y=56\u0026cip=40.0601","ceterms:codedNotation":"40.0601","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Classification of Instructional Programs"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Geology/Earth Science, General"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"A program that focuses on the scientific study of the earth; the forces acting upon it; and the behavior of the solids, liquids and gases comprising it.
