NOTE: In selecting a QL course to fulfill general education requirements for an AS or AA, students must consult their academic program and the institution to which they intend to transfer. Math requirements may vary at four-year institutions.
NOTE: When both HIST 2700 and HIST 2710 are used to meet the American Institutions requirement, individual courses will not meet the Social Science Distribution requirement.
Distribution Areas Physical Science (PS) general education component is staisfied through pre-major coursework.
REQUIRED COURSES (21 CREDITS) Although not required for the degree at SLCC, geology programs at four-year institutions require Physics II. Students should prioritize degree electives at SLCC and focus on Chem 1220 Chem II, Math 1220 Calculus II, and Phys 2220 Physics f/Sci&Eng II. The three geography classes are GIS classes and don’t transfer. However, these courses are a useful and important skill.
ADVISING NOTES: It is the student’s responsibility to examine each course description for details of prerequisite courses. Those prerequisites must be satisfied before the designated course may be taken. Students who need to take preparatory classes to meet the requirements of first semester courses should plan on extra time to complete the full program. Students should check the semester class schedule for day/evening availability and modifications caused by varying enrollment.
