Associate of Arts in Environmental Studies

This pathway is designed to meet Associate of Arts (AA) degree requirements with a concentration in Environmental Studies. This pre-major pathway prepares you to transfer at the junior level to a four-year college to earn a bachelor's degree in environmental studies or a related field. Whereas the environmental science pathway is designed for students who want to focus on scientific careers in fields such as pollution abatement, water resources, ecosystem protection, environmental restoration, and environmental management, the environmental studies pathway is more broad in focus. Environmental studies is a major that provides a broadly integrated understanding that includes, among others, the business, economic, social, and political facets of environmental challenges with a focus on policy, law, and sociality aspect of these challenges. Environmental studies students receive a foundation in the natural sciences but focus more of their studies on the social sciences, policy studies, environmental design, and the humanities. This pathway typically prepares students for careers in the non-profit sector, government agencies, environmental planning, sustainability advising, green business, environmental education, environmental journalism, and related areas. No matter what career you choose, this pathway will help you take an environmental perspective with you in whatever field you end up working.
