Transfer path

Potential Transfer Majors:

  • Geography B.A.

possible concentrations

  • human geography
  • physical geography
  • geographic information systems and analysis
  • metropolitan area planning

Potential Career/Options After Completing a Bachelor's Degree:

The opportunities for geographers are as varied as the scope of geography itself. Geographers are found throughout the public and private sector, though rarely in positions with the title of Geographer. When combined with appropriate internships and/or other work experience, a baccalaureate degree in geography is excellent preparation for careers such as natural resource management, environmental consulting, urban and regional planning, and elementary and secondary teaching. A baccalaureate degree in geography can also act as a stepping stone to graduate education in geography or a related field, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Advising Notes:

  • Students can substitute ESLW 340 for ENGWR 300/480.

Other Notes to Students Preparing to Transfer:

  • See ASSIST.ORG for the transfer requirements of the institution to which you plan to transfer.
  • The UC system requires proficiency in a language other than English equivalent to two years of high school study. See a counselor about fulfilling this requirement.

Honors Courses (H):

Students with a cumulative GPA of 3.2 or better who complete 15 or more units of Honors coursework earn an Honors Transfer Certificate and can take advantage of honors-to-honors transfer agreements with highly selective colleges and universities, both public and private.
