Additional Graduation Requirements

Advising Notes

The recommended courses listed are designed upon degree completion to prepare students to be eligible to transfer to four year university programs in environmental science. Check with your receiving institution to determine best credit transfer options.

Courses are listed in the recommended order you should take them.

Many courses have prerequisite requirements that must be fulfilled to be eligible to enroll in the course.

If you intend to graduate with an Associate degree in two years, you should enroll in at least 15 credits if taking only fall/spring courses.

Completing 30 credits each year helps students stay on track to timely graduation.

Taking classes in the winter intersession and summer can accelerate your time to degree completion.

All student degree audits for graduation purposes will be based off the official program of study the student is enrolled in.

Students should meet with an advisor to discuss transferability of elective options prior to registering for an elective.
