Bachelor of Arts in MathematicsThe mathematics bachelor’s degree provides students with a firm foundation in mathematics. Mathematics is a discipline that studies patterns, numbers, shapes, structures, and their relationships. It is fundamental for making sense of the world around us, providing a precise and systematic framework for logical reasoning, modeling, and problem-solving. Mathematics plays a crucial role in advancing human knowledge, serving as the language of science and the foundation of many other disciplines such as statistics, computer science, and engineering.

All mathematics majors complete the same core coursework, and then select an area of emphasis. The applied emphasis and the statistics emphasis provide a strong background for students interested in pursuing quantitative careers in industry, government, or academia. The pure emphasis prepares students to pursue higher-level degrees in mathematics. The teacher preparation emphasis prepares students to teach mathematics at the middle or high school level.

The BS in Geology with a concentration in Hydrogeology is designed to prepare students for professional employment or further studies in hydrogeology and water resources. The program emphasizes the fundamentals of geology, including mineralogy/petrology, stratigraphy, structural geology, and field geology, then builds on this foundation with coursework focusing on the water cycle and related Earth processes. 

The BS in Geology (General Geology) degree program is designed to prepare students for professional employment or advanced study in geology. The Geology program emphasizes a strong background in the major areas of geology including: mineralogy, petrology, stratigraphy, structural geology, field mapping, and report writing.

The BA degree program is designed as a shorter, more flexible preparation for some geology jobs, earth science teaching in high school, and jobs such as park naturalist, environmentalist, geologic planning specialist, or in geology-related businesses. The BA degree can be used in dual-track majors combining geology with biological sciences, chemistry, physics, or engineering.

Opportunities for specialties in the field include software engineering and development, computer networks and security, telecommunications, mobile computing, game programming, internet and web technology, embedded systems and real-time programming, systems analysis, information technology, distributed computing and artificial intelligence. In addition to other graduation requirements, this degree requires 22-24 units, of which 12 units are in required course and an additional 10-12 units are chosen from the restricted elective lists.  

Program Student Learning Outcomes:

🗸 Write computer programs to solve problems.


🗸 Design and implement Abstract Data Types using object-oriented techniques.


The Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer in Child and Adolescent Development, also called the Child and Adolescent Development AA-T, prepares students to transfer to CSU and other college campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in Child and Adolescent Development and related disciplines. Ed Code Section 66746-66749 states students earning the Child and Adolescent Development AA-T degree will be granted priority for admission as a Child Development major to a CSU, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student applies.The program is designed to prepare students for working with young children from birth through adolescence, and for employment in child development programs, public and private pre-schools, and children's centers. The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees, and there are no additional graduation requirements: (1) Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: (a) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education – Breadth Requirements. (b) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. (2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. (3) ADTs also require that students must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. A P (Pass) grade is an acceptable grade for a course in the major only if the P is defined to be equivalent to a C or better. The Child and Adolescent Development Associate in Arts Degree for Transfer requires a total of 27 units.

Program Student Learning Outcomes:

🗸 Analyze and interpret development in various domains of child development (biosocial, psychosocial, and cognitive, including typical and atypical development), and generate knowledge of the domains into comprehensive understanding of child development.

🗸 Compare the major perspectives of psychology, including the areas of biological, behavioral, cognitive, psychodynamic and humanistic psychology.

🗸 Demonstrate an understanding of and ability to analyze descriptive statistics by formulating the mean, mode, median, range and standard deviation.

The Bachelor of Arts in Geography with a concentration in Physical Geography focuses on earth systems and human impacts on them, including global climate change. Students interested in natural science and environmental management study weather and climate, plant and animal communities, landforms, and water resources, emphasizing the growing human role in influencing and managing these complex interrelated systems. 

The Bachelor of Arts in Geography with a concentration in Metropolitan Area Planning helps students understand how cities have evolved, with an emphasis on spatial patterns and the role of transportation in structuring settlements. The concentration provides students with skills for designing cities that address important issues such as sustainability, affordable housing and transportation, a strong civic life, and public health and safety.
