Project coordinators, research scientists, teachers, government employees, planners and environmental consultants are just a few of the careers you could choose from with an Associate of Arts for Transfer (AA-T) or Associate of Arts degree in Geography from Lemoore College.

When you study geography at Lemoore College, you’ll be fully prepared to transfer into the California State University system to earn a bachelor’s degree. You can earn an Associate of Arts for Transfer or an Associate of Arts. When you complete the Associate of Arts for Transfer degree, you’re guaranteed admission into the CSU system, but not to a specific institution or program. Students transferring to a CSU institution will be required to complete 60 units after transfer to earn a Bachelor’s degree.
