Geology is the study of the Earth, its environments, and its history. It is an interdisciplinary science that combines geological observations and concepts with those of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. Its goals are to study rocks, minerals, fossils, energy and water resources, and to understand geologic principles and processes that shape the Earth and its environments, and impact human society. The Associate in Science for Transfer degree in Geology is designed specifically for transfer in a similar major to the California State University System.
