Geology
Geology is the perfect field for people who love the natural world. If you like math and science and you love to spend time outdoors, a degree in geology is a great option for you. Geologists are in high demand to work in energy, mineral, water, and environmental fields.
While we recommend that geology students earn the Associate of Science (AS), an AA in Geology is also available.
The Associate of Arts has the same requirements as the AS with the addition of a foreign language (complete a 1020-level language course).
Students who are still exploring career paths might be interested in a more general major in Physical Science. To be fully ready to transfer, however, complete the AS in Geology.
