GEOLOGYAS-T DegreeNatural Sciences Divisionwww.elcamino.edu/academics/naturalsciences The program is designed to provide students theopportunity to obtain a transfer degree upon successful

completion of the geology major requirements. Thestudent will acquire the ability to apply the theory of platetectonics, knowledge of geologic hazards, and principlesof geologic time to natural phenomena. Laboratoriescomplement the lecture material providing the studentwith a foundation in observational and interpretivetechniques. Competencies are assessed by examiningthe student’s ability to make careful observations of earthmaterials and processes, explain observations, predictfuture outcomes of earth processes, and successfullycomplete laboratory and eld trip activities.

The Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) is intended forstudents who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a

similar major at a CSU campus. Students completing theAS-T are given priority consideration for admission to theCSU system, but not to a particular campus or major. Inorder to earn an AS-T degree, students must complete:1) a minimum of 18 semester units in the major2) 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable



Students who have completed the AS-T will have a strongacademic foundation in the eld and will be preparedfor upper division baccalaureate study at the university.

The coursework will satisfy most of the lower-divisionrequirements at many institutions within the CaliforniaState University system. Students transferring to a UC,private, or out of state university should consult with an ElCamino College counselor when planning to completethe degree since transfer requirements may be slightlydi erent than those required for the AS-T.

MATHEMATICSA.S. Degree and AS-T DegreeMathematical Sciences Divisionwww.elcamino.edu/academics/mathsciences

The program provides the student with su cient depth tosupport a lifelong interest in mathematics, and is suitable

for the student who plans to transfer in mathematics. The core of the major is the calculus sequence, in whichthe student will acquire a conceptual understandingof the principles of differential and integral calculus forfunctions of one and several variables, as well as the abilityto apply calculus techniques in a variety of applications.One course in Di erential Equations with Linear Algebrais required, as well as one additional course to providethe student with greater breadth in mathematics.Competency will be assessed by evaluating the student’sability to solve a wide range of calculus and othermathematical problems.

The Associate in Science is intended for students whoplan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar majorat a CSU campus. Students completing the AS degreeare given priority consideration for admission to the CSUsystem, but not to a particular campus or major. In orderto earn an AS degree, students must complete:1) a minimum of 18 semester units in the major2) 60 required semester units of CSU-transferable



Students who have completed the AS degree will have

a strong academic foundation in the eld and will beprepared for upper division baccalaureate study at theuniversity. The coursework will satisfy most of the lower-division requirements at many institutions within theCalifornia State University system. Students transferringto a UC, private, or out of state university should consultwith an El Camino College counselor when planning tocomplete the degree since transfer requirements may beslightly di erent than those required for the AS degree.

History of El Camino CollegeCompton Center

The former Compton Community College wasestablished in 1927 as a component of the Compton

Union High School District. In 1950, voters approveda bond issue separating the college from the highschool district. The new college campus was thenconstructed at the present site. At its peak, studentenrollment approached 10,000. After many successfulyears, and several challenging years, a chain of eventseventually led to Compton Community College’s lossof accreditation, and the ability to offer classes andgrant degrees with units that would transfer to fouryear colleges and universities.

On July 24, 2006, the El Camino Community CollegeDistrict Board of Trustees gave approval for ElCamino College to proceed with negotiations for

an agreement to provide educational and relatedsupport services to residents of the ComptonCommunity College District. In August 2006, theagreement was o cial, and the El Camino CollegeCompton Center was established. The primaryintent of the El Camino Community College District/ Compton Community College District agreement isto assist with recovery and full accreditation.

El Camino College provides accredited instructionaland related support, in addition to administrativeservices, to meet the needs of ECC Compton Centerstudents. El Camino College courses are taught atEl Camino College Compton Center by Compton

faculty.Administration at ECC Compton Center is led by theSuperintendent/ President of El Camino College. TheVice President, ECC Compton Center, oversees dailyoperations.

Through the agreement, residents of the Comptoncommunity continue to have access to universitytransfer and vocational educational opportunities, aswell as nancial aid, basic skills courses and relatedsupport services, right in their own neighborhood.
