Associate in Science for Transfer

The development of the Associate in Science in Environmental Science for Transfer Degree (AS-T in Environmental Science) helps transfer students focus on the core prerequisite courses and supports them as they move toward their goal in transferring to a four-year institution.— Show Full Program Details

Program Details

Students who complete this degree will satisfy lower-division general education and major requirements for transfer to a CSU in Environmental Science program.

Further, students who complete the degree will be guaranteed admission to the CSU system. The Associate in Science in Environmental Science for Transfer Degree (AS-T) is intended for students who plan to transfer and complete a bachelor’s degree in Environmental Science, or a major deemed similar at a CSU campus.

Students completing this AS-T degree are guaranteed admission to the CSU system but not necessarily to a particular campus or a major of choice.

For a current list of what majors (and what options or areas of emphasis within that major) have been designed as “similar” to this degree at each CSU campus, please refer to https:

Learning Outcomes

Learning outcomes help you work towards your educational goals.

Diagnose the concept of sustainability, from local through global scales.
Describe the history and current use of fossil fuels; debate the challenges associated with their use and the relevance of alternative forms of energy (including nuclear) in the modern energy landscape.
Relate population growth with environmental issues.
Diagram how water and key chemical elements (e.g., carbon, etc.) cycle throughout the earth system.
Describe the properties, conservation, and role of soil in agriculture, including how water is consumed and managed throughout the anthroposphere.
Analyze the impacts of modern technologies on living and non-living systems, including the health of human and non-human animals.
Understand the relationship between photosynthesis and cellular respiration, and explain how thermodynamics underpins living systems.
Discuss sources of air, land, and water pollution, including management and legislation that helps to mitigate their impacts on the ecosphere.
