PCC's 地质 courses are the starting point for a career in education, geoscience research, and government, where scientific and technical skills are in high demand.

Our 地质 courses cover a broad spectrum, from basic physical and historical geology to classes that focus on study of geologically significant areas throughout the western 美国. Take 地质 courses to fulfill a general education requirement, or earn an AS-T Degree in 地质 and be prepared to transfer and pursue a four-year 地质学学位.

The 地质 Department (part of the Natural Sciences Division) was founded in 1927 by Edwin Van Amringe and has a long history of excellence. PCC的地质学课程包括 a broad spectrum, from basic physical and historical geology to classes that focus on the study of geologically significant areas throughout the western 美国.

The 2-year program boasts four full-time faculty members and provides ample opportunity 实地研究. The 地质 教师 are well-qualified professionals who are personally interested 在他们学生的成功. All classes are taught by faculty, not student assistants. The program has modern equipment and facilities that are easily accessible to students.

达纳俱乐部

Established in 1937, the Dana Club is the oldest club on the 最靠谱的十大棋牌游戏 校园. This student organization sponsors guest lectures, arranges informal field trips, and engages in several fund-raising activities to support 地质 scholarships 特殊项目. The club accepts donations of rock and mineral specimens to prepare as study material or sell at the PCC flea market. 与 biology club, the Dana Club established and maintains a rock and cactus garden on 大学校园.

Traditionally the Dana Club has sponsored many field trips to areas of geological 对美国西部的兴趣.S. Recent trips have included the Nopah Range of eastern California, Santa Cruz Island, the Long Valley Caldera, and Catalina Island.

达纳俱乐部 also has a long-standing tradition of assisting the Mineralogical Society of Southern California in hosting an annual gem and mineral show. 现在被称为 California Show, it is held each year at the Pomona Fairplex in November.
