Emphasis: Geology, Environmental Geo-sciences, Geophysics, Oceanography
Degree: Associate in Science
Total Units: 91
Purpose: The degree program in Geology transfers to four-year colleges and universities. Completion of the program qualifies a student for junior standing at most four-year colleges and universities in Washington, and reasonably assures qualification outside of the state. Students not prepared to enter MATH& 151 and CHEM& 121 should plan on more than four years to complete a bachelor’s degree. For those students, a three-year program of study at Centralia College, carefully planned with an advisor, is recommended.
Many transfer schools have language requirements for admission or for certain kinds of bachelor’s degrees. Graduate work in science may require a foreign language, probably German, French, or Russian.
The program outlined below is more rigorous in mathematics, chemistry, and physics than minimum requirements at some four-year colleges and universities for some earth sciences. Substitution of less rigorous courses is not generally recommended.
