The Associate of Science in Environmental Science degree allows you to complete the initial two years of a bachelor's program tailored to your academic interests and objectives.
You'll explore these topics both theoretically and practically, developing skills to collect data, analyze findings, and propose solutions that positively impact our environment. That's progress worth celebrating. Many students opt to further their education by transferring to a 4-year Bachelor of Science program at partner universities or pursuing a Business Administration degree with a focus on Sustainable Business Practices (BBA) here at College of the Rockies.
The ASc in Environmental Science curriculum is designed for seamless transfer to various university programs, including Environmental Science BSc degrees at institutions like the University of Lethbridge, Simon Fraser University (with concentrations in Applied Biology or Environmental Earth Systems), and the University of Northern BC.
