About This Programme

An Associate in Arts in Geography for Transfer (AA-T) from Skyline College is intended for students who are interested in transferring to a California State University (CSU) campus with a major in Geography, or similar major. The degree gives students an overview of the discipline of Geography, an introduction to the methods geographers use to understand spatial relationships, and the tools to identify how humans impact and shape the world. Analyze, synthesize, and apply core geographic principles, concepts, models, and phenomena. Identify examples of human-environmental interaction and assess their past, present, and future impact. Evaluate and apply geographic methods and associated theories used to analyze and advance geographic concepts. Geographic Information Systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and remote sensing (analysis of satellite images of the Earth) are all highly employable specialties that are being used every day by more and more people. In a world where information management is becoming a major commodity, people who can understand and use spatial information are in demand.
