Transfer Pattern Description:
 
This Arts and Sciences degree program is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution. Since four-year institutions vary widely in their requirements, it is strongly recommended that students speak with a counselor from the Counseling Center and a member of the Geography department before registering for courses. Geography draws upon many sources for its material because of its attempts to describe location factors of the environment, both human and physical, and to emphasize the relationship of these factors. Some of the major fields of study include resource management, urban and regional planning, oceanography, hydrology, cartography, environmental law, conservation, demography, climatology, meteorology, geology, and travel and tourism.
