The transfer degree assures foundational preparation for transfer opportunities at California State Universities as students pursue a degree in Geography or a related field.\n \n The Geography ADT provides students a transfer curriculum focused on the integration of Physical (GEOG 1) and Cultural (GEOG 2) Geographic knowledge with a spatial perspective that is useful in identifying, understanding, and solving problems of local, regional, and global importance. The degree provides students an opportunity to gain experience gathering, analyzing, and displaying spatial data. Field and map courses weave research design and the scientific method to complement the technical skills learned. Both Physical and Social Sciences are integrated into a framework to apply critical Geographic thought. \n \n The Geography coursework complements coursework in the related disciplines of Geology and Anthropology and helps students develop skills that are applicable to a wide range of careers such as: urban/regional planning, natural resource management, cartography/mapmaking, marketing consulting, epidemiological modeling, natural hazard assessment, social science research, and climatology. \n \n Completion of this curriculum will demonstrate commitment to the field and provide comprehensive preparation for further academic study through upper-division course work. This curriculum specifically prepares the prospective transfer student for upper division coursework in Geography or a similar major at a California State University (CSU) campus. Students should consult a counselor, the Transfer Center and the catalog of the transfer college or university to plan a specific program of study to meet the college or university's requirements.\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:e6a22e92-85dd-4bf3-811f-d75a794d0ae8"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2021-08-30","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/19-3092.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"19-3092.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Geographers"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Study the nature and use of areas of the Earth's surface, relating and interpreting interactions of physical and cultural phenomena.
