GEOSCIENCE IS A COLLEGE PREPARATORY COURSE! Allow me to clear up some of the confusion about Geoscience and it's status as a college preparatory class.
CSU Schools
From the CSU Admissions Requirements site:
At least 1 year of physical science and 1 year of biological science, one from the “d” subject area
and the other from the “d” or “g” area**
CSU Admissions Page
UC Schools
From the UC A-G Admissions site:
One unit (equivalent to one year or two semesters) is required. Courses must fall within, or combine in an interdisciplinary fashion, the “a-f” subject areas.
This requirement can be satisfied by:
Completion of one additional, advanced UC-approved “a-f” course, or
Completion of a course that has been specifically approved for the elective ("g") area.
UC A-G Electives Page
The TUSD Geoscience course is listed in the UC Course Directory as an A-G Elective class. This means that it counts as an elective course for UC Admissions. ( UC A-G Classes for TUSD - see electives at the bottom
Additionally, Geoscience fullfills 1 year of physical science for High School Graduation! And if that is not reason enough, the U.S Bureau of Labor Statistics that Geoscience Jobs are growing at 21%, which is faster than average. This means that there will be many job opportunities for people who would like a career studying the earth. The Bureau also indicates that the median annual salary for Geo-scientist's is $82, 500.00 per year! (Bureau of Labor Statistics )
