The transfer degree assures\nenrollment and transfer opportunities at California State\nUniversities. Environmental Science offers an interdisciplin-\nary approach to challenging contemporary problems. In\nthis Associate in Science for Transfer degree, students are\nprovided the solid preparation in the sciences necessary\nfor advanced coursework in Environmental Science and\nrelated fields. Coursework in Biology, Chemistry, Geosci-\nence, Physics, as well as Economics, Calculus, and Statis-\ntics provide the foundation necessary to understand and\nevaluate factors contributing to environmental deteriora-\ntion, resource depletion, and global climate change. This\nmix of required courses encourages students to consider\ndiverse approaches to understanding these problems and\nto critically evaluate the effectiveness of potential solutions\nand policy proposals. Students completing this degree will\nbe well prepared for upper division coursework in Environ-\nmental Science at a CSU. Students are required to com-\nplete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of CSU trans-\nferable coursework with a minimum grade point average\nof 2.0; a minimum grade of \"C\" (or \"P\") or better for each\ncourse in the major, and completion of IGETC for STEM or\nCSU GE for STEM\n\nPlease see the college Catalog for the most up-to-date description."},"ceterms:accreditedBy":["_:d9a0c645-7aff-47ce-8f24-2dc07ab50e30"],"ceterms:dateEffective":"2021-08-20","ceterms:occupationType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://www.bls.gov/soc/","ceterms:targetNode":"https://www.onetonline.org/link/summary/19-2041.00","ceterms:codedNotation":"19-2041.00","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Standard Occupational Classification"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Environmental Scientists and Specialists, Including Health"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Conduct research or perform investigation for the purpose of identifying, abating, or eliminating sources of pollutants or hazards that affect either the environment or the health of the population.
