Environmental Sciences
Environmental Science is the study of the relationships between the geological, biological, chemical, and ecological systems in the Earth鈥檚 natural environment.
Students obtaining the Associate in Science for Transfer (AS-T) in Environmental Sciences will learn the necessary concepts, problem solving skills and analytical thought processes to prepare them for transfer into a university-level major in Environmental Sciences, for entry-level positions in the discipline, or for a greater appreciation of how science is used to study the interactions between human activity and the earth鈥檚 systems.
The Associate Degree for Transfer (AA-T or AS-T) is a special degree offered at California Community Colleges. Students who earn an AA-T or AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to a campus within the California State University (CSU) system in a similar major, although not necessarily to a specific campus. Students who complete an AA-T or AS-T are given priority consideration when applying to a particular program that is similar to the student鈥檚 community college major and will be given a special GPA advantage when applying to CSU impacted campuses or majors. Students who are planning to pursue an AA-T or AS-T are strongly advised to meet with a counselor for additional information about this transfer program.
