1. Supporting Students Through the 2YC-4YCU Transfer Process
Increasing student awareness of, and preparation for, academic and professional pathways attainable with a 2-year degree, 4-year degree, or certificate in geoscience. Mechanisms that we are exploring include informing students about geoscience careers and pathways in our classes, incorporating career preparation into our courses and programs, building relationships with our institutions' career and transfer counselors.
