Environmental Studies
The degree program in Environmental Studies is a multidisciplinary program which provides students the academic foundation for understanding the interaction of humans and the natural environment from scientific, technological, political, environmental, social, and economic perspectives. Accordingly, this program features a diverse array of classes designed for students transferring to a specialized program in environmental studies at many four year institutions. In completing the AA degree, students may study geology, geography, ecology, biology, chemistry, mathematics, philosophy, sociology, ethics, political science, and economics, as well as energy and sustainability.
