An associate degree in geology is designed to acquaint the student with the processes, applications, and techniques of earth science. The degree is suitable for someone who intends to complete a Bachelor’s degree in geology or a related field like oceanography, meteorology, geophysics, or environmental science. Students who seek a degree in science education at either the elementary or secondary level may wish to emphasize geology in their degree plans.

For non-majors, geology courses offer a greater understanding of the world that enhances one’s appreciation of surface features, environmental concerns, resource utilization, and the grandeur of immense changes through time.

The courses listed for this area of study (linked below) are suggested for students who wish to receive an associate degree at Midland College and transfer to a four-year college. An official degree plan should be filed the semester before graduation; please contact the Dean whose name is listed above.

The following is the suggested sequence of courses for this degree. A + indicates courses with a prerequisite or a co-requisite. However, courses that do not have a prerequisite do not have to be taken in order. For example, HIST 1301 does not have to be taken before HIST 1302 since 1301 is not a prerequisite for 1302. Nevertheless, the general sequence should still be followed. Part-time students may require more than four semesters to complete their degree or certificate.
