It is important that students who are completing an Associate Degree and desire to transfer to a four-year institution meet with a counselor to plan their lower division coursework. While many majors at SRJC are intended to align with lower division major preparation required by California public universities, specific lower-division major requirements vary among individual campuses. See a counselor, visit the Transfer Center, and check Guides For Transfer in Specific Majors, and ASSIST to review transfer preparation guides for specific schools and majors.

Notes:

Completing four of six core courses is required to fulfill the core requirement for the major.
(BIO 12, ECON 12, ENGL 10, ENVS 8, ENVS 12, NRM 12, PHIL 12, and POLS 12).

Students are encouraged to use remaining core courses to fulfill elective requirements for the major.

No course may be used more than once to fulfill a requirement in the major.

Some courses are only offered during the spring semester, or only periodically at SRJC (ECON 12 and ENGL 10).

SSU Requirement: SSU requires GEOG 4 as part of their Environmental Studies and Environmental Science programs.

The Work Experience/Internship/Community Engagement Requirement:

The work experience/internship/community engagement requirement is an integral part of the Environmental Studies major. This requirement is intended to give students the chance to apply knowledge and skills learned in the classroom to real-world situations. Additionally, it may provide networking opportunities and build awareness regarding potential career options. To develop an appropriate work experience/internship or community engagement experience, students will work with their instructors and the SRJC Work Experience and Internships department. Most students will complete this requirement in their second year of study.
