The following curriculum will meet the lower-division requirements of most four-year schools in geology. Upon satisfactory completion of the course work outlined below and graduation with an AS degree from Eastern Arizona College, you may enter upper division work in any one of several earth science related fields, including general geology, geo-chemistry, hydrology and geophysics. Since program requirements differ between universities, the official transfer guide of the school which you plan to attend upon leaving EAC should be consulted in order to adjust this program to your personal needs. Web addresses for the transfer guides of Arizona’s three public universities are included below.

You should have a firm background in mathematics (including algebra, geometry, and trigonometry) and chemistry. Physics is helpful. A deficiency in any of the above areas may necessitate refresher courses before pursuing a geology curriculum.
