Geology at Collin
Collin College provides general academic courses and electives for students who plan to transfer to a college or university. Because of the various transfer requirements at colleges and universities, and to ensure enrollment in appropriate courses, students should verify course transferability and degree applicability with a Collin College academic advisor and/or the college or university that they plan to attend.
To earn an associate degree, complete the 42 credit hour General Education Core, and 18 credit hours of general studies electives and the Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree requirements.
Check with your transfer institution before registering for general studies electives to make sure your courses will be degree applicable to your bachelor's degree at the transfer institution.
Learn about the physical processes that have shaped the earth over billions of years with coursework in geology. This coursework will provide you with a background for careers in natural resources, meteorology, energy, engineering, geophysics, environmental studies and education.
More than that, an Associate of Science degree with coursework in geology can prepare you for a Bachelor of Science degree at a university.
