1.50 Credits
(1.5 Units) (No prerequisite. Advisories: Familiarity with Windows operating system and software is highly recommended. Suggested completion of Computer Science 110 or Computer Information Systems 110 or 101. Two lecture and three laboratory hours weekly for eight weeks.) An interdisciplinary course that explores Geographic Information Systems (GIS) used for acquisition, storage, management, analysis, and communication of spatial data. The course addresses how GIS can be used as a tool for diverse academic disciplines. The course will introduce the student to GIS through the use of ArcGIS software. The subsequent course (Geography 126) is a project-oriented course that stresses accession and application of data in the student's chosen academic area of interest. (CSU/UC)

1.50 Credits
(1.5 Units) (Prerequisite: Geography 125. Two lecture and three laboratory hours weekly for eight weeks.) Geographic Information Systems use has become essential to the effective operation of both public and private organizations. Students will be taught how to retrieve and apply data from their area of interest using ArcGIS software. Students will develop a project related to their area of academic interest and submit written and oral presentations of their project using GIS software and other skills developed in this course and the prerequisite course. (CSU)

-
2.00 Credits
(1-3 units)(Limit to Enrollment: Completion of at least two courses in geography with a grade point average of 3.0 or higher in those courses.) Directed study may consist of readings, research, or projects which are to be arranged with a geography instructor the semester prior to that in which the directed study is to be done. This course may be taken more than once for credit. Please see Directed Study category. (CSU/UC w/limit)

-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Geology 99 or Biology 99. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture hours weekly.) This course is designed for students who have not reached the level of success they desired in high school or college science courses and for individuals returning to school after an extended absence. The course covers basic scientific principles and concepts of the physical and life sciences and prepares students to move into other science classes with the information, understanding, and skills required to succeed. Introductory topics in biology, chemistry, geography, geology, meteorology, and physics are discussed. This course also provides an excellent overview of the most important topics in science today for anyone interested in learning more about the natural world.
-
1.00 Credits
(1.0 Unit) (Corequisite: Geology 102. There will be three, two-day field trips.) This course provides the opportunity to see and understand more fully the geology, landforms, and natural environment of national parks. Three, two-day field trips will be required. This course will normally be offered in the spring semester. Students should be aware that minimal expenses would be incurred during the field trips. This course is repeatable if different national parks are studied. (CSU)
-
2.00 Credits
(2.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Two lecture hours weekly.) Designed for the student's enrichment of the natural environment of National Parks, with emphasis on parks of the western hemisphere. (CSU)
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Three lecture hours weekly.) Environmental geology is the fascinating study of the interactions of the human race and the physical environment. The course centers on how mankind alters the physical environment in order to better suit our immediate needs and how these alterations in turn dictate the course of our future. The emphasis is always on the balance between short term reward and long-term consequence. Field trips may be offered. (CSU/UC)AA/AS Area A, CSU Area B-1, IGETC Area 5A
-
3.00 Credits
(3.0 Units) (No prerequisite. Can be taken for credit as Astronomy 105, Biology 105, or Geology 105. Credit will be awarded for only one course. Three lecture hours weekly.) This is an interdisciplinary course that explores the origins and evolution of the cosmos from the Big Bang and the formation of the universe and Earth, to the development of life. Students will explore basic concepts and principles that bind all scientific disciplines, and the nature of science and scientific inquiry. Through the study of astronomy, chemistry, geology, and biology, students will discover the interrelatedness of all matter, living and nonliving in the cosmos and how physical and chemical processes eventually led to the evolution of living organisms.
