Environmental Science

Direct Transfer Curriculum

Catalog 2007-08

MHCC Faculty Advisor:
Dr. Javid Mohtasham: 503-491-7440 - AC 2571 Javid.Mohtasham@mhcc.edu

The study of Environmental Science equips students with a general understanding of the environmental challenges facing our world. It is an interdisciplinary science that prepares students for positions in a variety of fields including environmental policy, natural resource management, pollution control, conservation, lobbying, environmental education, and environmental communication.

The two-year course of study listed below is designed to meet the transfer requirements for Portland State University, Concordia University, and Marylhurst University through formal agreements with these institutions. However students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions that require different courses within the various subject areas of General Education. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC are highly encouraged to consult with the program adviser and the institution they will be attending. It should be noted that an Associate Degree is not awarded at the completion of this course of study; rather students direct transfer to the four-year institution of their choice.
