GEOG 030 FIELD STUDIES AND METHODS IN GEOGRAPHY
1 unit
Recommended Preparation: GEOG 001.
Field studies of the geography of selected regions. Physical and cultural processes, characteristics and landscapes will be
observed and analyzed. Specific physical and cultural content will vary by geographic region. Required instructional trips.

Transfer Credit: CSU
Rationale: In December 2013, GEOG 30 Field Studies and Methods in Geography was submitted for C-ID designation CID 160 Regional Field Studies. This was not approved. Thus we are modifying the GEOG 30 course based on the
provided feedback to be more in line with the CID descriptor and plan on resubmitting it to CID. Updates have been made
to the course: SPO's, CCO's, Catalog Description, and textbooks.
