International Trade 
This program stresses those skills most sought by today's employers in international commerce.  The field of international trade provides career opportunities for persons with specialized skills in import and export documentation, banking, sales marketing, air-sea-truck transportation, and the principals of foreign trade business management.

Anthropology 
California State University, Los Angeles 
University of California, Los Angeles 
Anthropologists study man in both biological and non-biological (cultural) aspects.  By culture the anthropologist means customs, traditions, beliefs, social and religious organizations, and material possessions.  Most commonly, anthropolists focus their studies on tribal or peasant cultures of non-western countries but they do not exclude western industrial cultures. 

The study of our human biological nature is called biological or physical anthropology.  Biological anthropologists apply an intensive training in primatology, human biology, and genetics to the study of human origins, our evolution, relationship to other primates and to the living varieties of humans popularly called races. 

Earth Science 
California State University, Los Angeles 
Bachelor of Arts Degree 

Geography 
Most of the surrounding universities offer a baccalaureate degree in Geography.  As a small, inconspicuous field, Geography enjoys a favorable ratio of job placements to graduates, even in times of generally high unemployment in other fields. 

Geographers work with maps, but also with remote sensing (aerial and space photography), and with computers - often in combination. Professional geographers are involved in land use planning, industrial location, marketing studies, environmental impact assessments, resource management, law enforcement planning, intelligence, and diplomatic services, to give but a few examples. 

Geography majors study the earth and its regions, and also meteorology, climatology, soils, land forms, oceanography, cartography (map production), urban and rural settlements, world resources and industries, international trade and transportation, and other related specialties, depending upon  
departmental emphasis and individual interest. 

Since academic majors normally commence in the third year of college, E.L.A.C. students are encouraged to take courses -both geographic and non-geographic - which develop the broad educational background characteristic of the professional geographer. 

Geography 1 (Physical) and Geography 2 (Cultural), taken in any order, or taken concurrently, are the minimum formal requirements for upper division course work at a college or university. 

Geology 
Geology is the scientific study of the earth and its natural resources and thus is a very diverse field of study in which one may specialize in many different areas and solve many fascinating problems. This spectrum of specialties varies from study in earthquakes to prospecting for mineral or petroleum products. 

Most geologists divide their time between field, laboratory and office work. In the field geologists collect samples, make maps and record many observations of the nature of the materials and structures exposed at the earth's surface. Some geologists are highly trained laboratory specialists and may spend all of their time there.  In the office, geologists must have the ability to assemble, correlate and interpret data, write reports and articles and draft maps and illustrations.  This is most important as the results of the work must be read by employers, government officials, attorneys or the public.
