Overview
Environmental science is the study of the interactions among the physical, chemical and biological components of the environment; with a focus on pollution and degradation of the environment related to human activities; and the impact on biodiversity and sustainability from local and global development. It is inherently an interdisciplinary field that draws upon not only its core scientific areas, but also applies knowledge from other non-scientific studies such as economics, law and social sciences. Physics is used to understand the flux of material and energy interaction and construct mathematical models of environmental phenomena. Chemistry is applied to understand the molecular interactions among natural systems. Biology is fundamental to describing the effects within the plant and animal kingdoms.

Classes offered this quarter
Designed to provide students with a broad
liberal arts background of study during their
first and second years of college with an
emphasis on Environmental Sciences. The state’s two-year and
four-year schools developed transfer
agreements that allow students from a
community college to transfer at least 90
credits (60 semester credits) to a four-year
college or university. The degrees satisfy
some – or all – general requirements for a
bachelor’s degree.
