Geology AS

at Moorpark College

To earn an Associate in Science Degree with a major in Geology, students complete 46 specified units, plus General Education Degree Requirements. These major requirements optimize preparation for upper division course work for advanced degrees in Geology offered by four-year institutions. Since the course work in geology is sequential, students may spend less time earning an Associate and/or Bachelor’s degree by deferring some of the university general education requirements until their junior and senior years and by giving priority to the requirements for a major in geology. In addition, earning this degree suggests an achievement of technical skills that may be helpful in seeking immediate employment.
