Cooperative program leading to the Associate of Science Degree at Grayson County College and the Bachelor of Science Degree in Geology at Sam Houston State University
Grayson County:
Grayson County and Sam Houston State University proudly present a cooperative program allowing a student to complete the Associate of Science degree at Grayson County College and utilize the majority of course work to complete the Bachelor of Science degree in Geology at SHSU. Students are encouraged to seek advice from Academic Advisors to ensure maximum transferability of course work between institutions.
The Associate of Science degree at Grayson County requires a minimum of sixty-two (62) college credit hours with at least 30 academic hours in residence, fifteen (15) of which must be at the sophomore level with an overall GPA of 2.0. It is possible to transfer a limited number of hours from a senior institution (SHSU) back to Grayson County to complete degree requirements.
Sam Houston State University :
The objectives of the Geology Program are to train professional geologists and to prepare teachers of science. Students completing the Bachelor of Science degree are prepared for careers in industry, academia, government, and for admission to advanced degree programs.
Participants of 2+2 programs at community colleges are especially welcome and encouraged to complete the Bachelor of Science degree at Sam Houston State University . Additional information may be found at http://www.shsu.edu/~geo_gel.
The following table lists courses leading towards a concentration/major in Geology at each institution.

In addition to the above courses, all courses in the State of Texas Common Core may be transferred between institutions.
Students may transfer to SHSU at any time as long as they meet SHSU's admission requirements. Students close to completing the requirements for the associate degree are encouraged to consider the potential advantages of completing the associate degree. One way to accomplish this is to transfer courses taken at SHSU back to the community college to complete degree requirements. Properly selected courses may be used to satisfy degree requirements at both institutions simultaneously. The applicant is encouraged to speak to an academic advisor familiar with the programs of all institutions involved to maximize the amount of transferable credit.
