Geology, A.S.

 Return to: Degree Programs (By Dept.)
The geology department offers courses of general interest and many courses that meet requirements of laboratory physical sciences. Many of the advanced geology classes (generally sophomore level) will transfer to four-year institutions and count toward a degree in geology; however, it is incumbent upon the student to check with the school to which they will eventually transfer to determine applicability and transferability. Sophomore-level geology classes will be offered only if there is sufficient student interest and demand.
The transfer school of choice and anticipated specialty are considerations in selecting mathematics courses and electives. At least two semesters each of calculus and physics are required at most schools. In addition, many schools require a minimum of two semesters of world language. World language will count toward the general education humanistic requirements at Casper College and at many four-year schools. Consult the transfer school’s catalog and your advisor to work out a program.
Completion of this degree can be used to either gain immediate employment as a geological technician or demonstrates fulfillment of the first half of requirements for transfer students planning to complete a bachelor’s degree in geology.
