Associate of Science (AS) Environmental Science
This pathway is designed to meet Associate in Science Track 1 degree requirements with a concentration in Environmental Science. This pre-major pathway prepares you to transfer at the junior level to a four-year college to earn a bachelor's degree in environmental science or a related field. ... More
This pathway is designed to meet Associate in Science Track 1 degree requirements with a concentration in Environmental Science. This pre-major pathway prepares you to transfer at the junior level to a four-year college to earn a bachelor's degree in environmental science or a related field. Environmental Science scholars ask questions such as: How can colony collapse disorder be prevented? Should genetically modified food be labeled as such? How does intensive farming impact plant biodiversity? Environmental Science uses a multidisciplinary approach to understand the changes in our natural and human environment. During the course of your studies, you’ll draw on fundamental scientific knowledge in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology coupled with specialization in a particular area of science to provide advanced scientific and quantitative understanding of contemporary environmental challenges. During the course of your studies, much of your learning will occur while actively working on problems in the field, with supplementary learning in laboratories and classrooms. This pathway will provide you with key skills that include data collection and analysis, written and oral communication skills, and experience collaborating within teams. Environmental Scientists have global opportunities to work in areas such as environmental assessments, industry consulting, the public sector, and more. A degree in Environmental Science can also be used as a stepping-stone to graduate studies or a professional degree such as law, medicine, veterinary medicine, or architecture.
