The environmental studies program is an interdisciplinary program that concentrates on the identification of environmental problems and the analysis of the complex interactions of human populations with the earth. The program includes discussions of technology and how it impacts the environment. Program courses incorporate the concept of sustainable development, a form of economic development that encourages economic growth while at the same time improving the quality of life and preserving the environment. The capstone course is a Directed Study course where students apply classroom knowledge to a field environmental issue. The Environmental Studies AAS degree will provide students with a skill set that augments their employment opportunities in the environmental sector and beyond.
Students who satisfactorily complete all college and program requirements qualify for an associate of applied science degree.
Not all courses are offered each semester. Students should work with an academic advisor to develop a schedule that will work for them. Students planning to transfer should check the transfer institution’s requirements/guides or discuss their options with an academic advisor or counselor.
