The Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer (AS-T in Geology) degree allows students to learn the fundamental principles and practices of Geology in order to create a solid foundation for their future personal, academic, or vocational endeavors. The Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer (AS-T in Geology) degree also provides a solid preparation appropriate for a variety of scientific disciplines. The Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer degree (AS-T in Geology) provides students with a major that fulfills the general requirements of the California State University for transfer, and students with the Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer degree (AS-T in Geology) will receive priority admission with junior status to the California State University system. The Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer (AS-T in Geology) degree meets the requirements of SB 1440 for Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADT). These degrees are intended to make it easier for students to transfer to California State University campuses, but do not exclude admittance to other colleges or universities. To earn an Associate in Science in Geology for Transfer (AS-T in Geology) degree a student must complete the following: - Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of degree-applicable courses - A minimum of 18-semester units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district - Completion of the Cal-GETC pattern - Minimum grade of \"C\" (or \"P\") for each course in the major - Minimum overall grade point average of 2.0\n\n### Program Requirements"
