ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Associate in Science for Transfer

Description

The Associate in Science in Environmental Science for Transfer (AS-T) degree is intended to meet the lower-division requirements for Environmental Science majors (or similar majors) at a CSU campus that offers an Environmental Science baccalaureate degree.

This degree provides for the completion of lower division major preparation associated with the requirements for a bachelor's degree in environmental science, environmental management protection, applied ecology, environmental data analysis, and other fields. It provides a broad, comprehensive overview of the main areas of environmental science. The ability to think critically and use appropriate tools to solve environmental biological questions will be emphasized.

In addition to the courses listed below, the following additional requirements must be met to complete the AS-T in Environmental Science:

1. Completion of a minimum of 60 CSU transferable semester units.
2. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework (some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information).
3. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a "P" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the "P" is equal to a "C" or better.
4. Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.

Students are advised to check with the Counseling Department or Transfer Center for the courses accepted for the Environmental Science major at the CSU to which they seek to transfer.
