Environmental science is the study of the
interactions among the physical, chemical and biological
components of the environment; with a focus on pollution
and degradation of the environment related to human
activities; and the impact on biodiversity and
sustainability from local and global development.
It is inherently an interdisciplinary field that
draws upon not only its core scientific areas, but also
applies knowledge from other non-scientific studies such
as economics, law and social sciences. Physics is used
to understand the flux of material and energy
interaction and construct mathematical models of
environmental phenomena. Chemistry is applied to
understand the molecular interactions among natural
systems. Biology is fundamental to describing the
effects within the plant and animal kingdoms.

Classes offered this quarter
Designed to provide students with a broad liberal
arts background of study during their first and second
years of college with an emphasis on Environmental
Sciences. The state's two-year and four-year schools
developed transfer agreements that allow students from a
community college to transfer at least 90 credits (60
semester credits) to a four-year college or university.
The degrees satisfy some - or all - general requirements
for a bachelor's degree.
