Geography – A.S. Degree (Natural Sciences Division)

The program is designed to provide students the opportunity to obtain a degree upon successful completion of the requirements of a geography transfer major. The geography student will apply fundamental concepts and principles of natural and cultural systems as studied in a spatial context. Competencies will be assessed by examining the student’s ability to explain the relationships between people, places, and environments. Students will also map spatial distributions of natural and cultural features.

Preparations for the Transfer Major For information on specific university major requirements, please obtain a transfer curriculum guide sheet in the Counseling Services Center, consult with your counselor, or visit the Transfer Center. You may use the transfer major requirements to help you fulfill your associate degree requirements.
