GENERAL INFORMATION
Environmental Science/Studies includes the study of living organisms in relation to their environments and the impact of human society and technology on those ecosystems. Students interested in global sustainability issues will find this an appropriate program of study. Environmental science may be approached with an emphasis in the biological sciences, in legal issues, in economics, or in computer-modeled systems. In all of these cases, the student will need to finish a baccalaureate (4-year) degree, which may be a Bachelor of Science (BS) or a Bachelor of Arts (BA). The first two years of courses (or more if precollege level courses are required) can be taken at the community college, and the junior and senior year completed at a 4-year college or university.
For those students planning to transfer to a 4-year college or university within the state of Washington, Everett Community College offers two pathways as options towards transfer to a university. Depending on the ultimate career goal, students can pursue a degree Environmental Science or Environmental Studies. Both of these degrees are AAS-Option II degrees, but the specific coursework for each varies. Students are strongly encouraged to discuss their interests with an advisor early in their studies at EvCC. Each of them requires advance planning to meet prerequisites.
The Associate in Arts and Sciences – Option II meets guidelines for direct transfer to most colleges and universities in Washington, as well as to the major public universities in Oregon. The degree enables the student to complete basic distribution requirements in Math, English, Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences, and to begin the major course of study. Depending upon the student’s intended major, this option may or may not meet all of the prerequisites for the major. It is very important to discuss this with an advisor.
CAREER OPTIONS
Students pursuing an undergraduate (baccalaureate) degree Environmental Science/Studies have a broad variety of career options. Sample career fields in Environmental Science include: Sustainable Forest Management, Wildlife Conservation, Wildlife Biologist, Fisheries or Marine Biologist, Park Ranger or Toxicologist. Students interested in fields such as urban planning, GIS database manager, Environmental Advocate or Environmental Education, Planning and Policy, Geography, Economics or Journalism would be more likely to follow the Environmental Studies options. Students interested in being a Park Ranger can follow either pathway. Combined degrees with economics, journalism or education are also available. Career options are also available in law, business and industry. In some cases, there may be opportunities for traveling or living abroad. More career information is available through EvCC’s Career Center, Third Floor, Parks Student Union.
