Environmental Science Associate in Science for Transfer
The Environmental Science Associate in Science for Transfer Degree, also called Environmental AS-T Degree, is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer with junior status to a California State University (CSU) campus in a program or major in Environmental Science for completion of a baccalaureate degree. The program focuses on science methodology and applied analysis to study natural and human environments from an interdisciplinary perspective. The curriculum builds on natural sciences (biology, chemistry, geology, and physics), integrated social and applied science (economics, geography, and bioregional studies), and mathematics (including calculus and statistics).
