A.S. Degree
Natural Sciences Division
www.elcamino.edu/academics/naturalsciences The program is designed to provide students the opportunity to obtain a degree upon successful completion of the requirements of a geography transfer major. The geography student will apply fundamental concepts and principles of natural and cultural systems as studied in a spatial context. Competencies will be assessed by examining the student’s ability to explain the relationships between people, places, and environments. Students will also map spatial distributions of natural and cultural features.
Preparations for the Transfer Major
For information on specific university major requirements, please obtain a transfer curriculum guide sheet in the Counseling Services Center, consult with your counselor, or visit the Transfer Center. You may use the transfer major requirements to help you fulfill your associate degree requirements.

The Associate of Arts for Transfer (AA-T) is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing the AA-T are given priority consideration for admission to the CSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. In order to earn an AA-T degree, students must complete: 1) a minimum of 18 semester units in the major with a
grade of C or better
2) 60 required semester units of CSU transferable coursework with a minimum GPA of 2.0
3) the CSU General Education Breadth requirements or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC)
Students who have completed the AA-T will have a strong academic foundation in the field and will be prepared for upper division baccalaureate study at the university. The coursework will satisfy most of the lower-division requirements at many institutions within the California State University system. Students transferring to a UC, private, or out of state university should consult with an El Camino College counselor when planning to complete the degree since transfer requirements may be slightly different than those required for the AA-T.
