AA/AS in Geography and Cartography

The Geography Associate in Arts Degree at Fullerton College introduces students to both the physical and human sides of geographic study. It provides the background that undergraduate geography majors need for university transfer and coursework. The page connects the degree to careers in environmental work, science, law, cultural diversity programs, and international fields. Required courses are Global Geography, Physical Geography with its lab, and Cultural Geography. Restricted electives include Global Environmental Problems, California Geography, Introduction to Geographic Information Systems, and Introduction to Weather and Climate. Program outcomes ask students to critique globalization's effects on the relationship between people and the environment through a spatial lens, describe migration and cultural traits, and explain how Earth's atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere interact.
