Geology • Associate in Science

Transfer Program

Total Credit Hours: 60

Colleague Code: AS.GEO

Curriculum Code: GEO 101

Program Information:

• This program is appropriate for those students interested in further study of Geology or Earth Sciences at a four-year institution.
• Students pursuing a B.S. degree in this discipline should find this program will transfer for the first two years to most colleges and universities.
• Since program requirements vary among the four-year schools, the above courses are only suggested guidelines. Students are strongly encouraged to explore the specific program requirements of the four-year schools they are considering for their transfer, as they make their course selections for their first two years of study at LLCC. Additionally, LLCC advisors, faculty members, and deans are also sources of helpful advice.

GEG 105, PHY 201: IMPORTANT NOTE – If you intend to complete the first half of a sequenced science offering (such as CHE 201/CHE 202 or PHY 101/PHY 102) at LLCC, and the second half at your transfer school, you run the risk of having to repeat the course at your transfer school, if the content split in the sequence at LLCC varies enough from the content split at the transfer school. Therefore, it might be in your best interest to finish out the sequence or not start the sequence before transferring.
