Geology is the study of Earth, particularly the processes that have shaped our world and continue to do so.
An AS in Geology can provide a pathway to bachelor's degrees in other geosciences, such as atmospheric sciences/meteorology, environmental engineering, and interdisciplinary fields such as climate science, and Earth system science.
Students will gain a solid foundation in the understanding of processes operating in Earth's interior and on its surface, how Earth has changed throughout its long history and continues to change as a result of natural and human causes, and how rocks, fossils, and Earth surface features provide information needed to gain insight into the distant past of our world. An associate of science in geology from Lee College is a great first step toward a bachelor of science in geology and numerous related fields.
