Program Description
The environmental science and policy track is a
transfer program that provides the first two years
of courses necessary for a four-year baccalaureate
degree in environmental science or policy.
Working closely with a counselor or adviser,
students will be able to tailor their program of
study to fit the needs of most, if not all, colleges
and universities offering a degree in
environmental science or environmental policy.
Program Outcomes
Upon completion of this program a student will be
able to:
Make observations, collect data, and analyze
data.
Apply basic biological and chemical
principles to explain experimental results.
Describe connections between the
environment and human societies, including
how humans affect the environment and
how the environment in turn affects human
welfare.
