Catalog Year 2009-2010

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

The study of Environmental Sciences and Management 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 Environmental Sciences option provides a strong foundation in mathematics, science and economics preparing students to deal with environmental systems and human impacts on those systems.

The two-year course of study listed below is designed to meet the transfer requirements for Portland State University and award the student an Associate of Science from MHCC. An agreement between Mt. Hood Community College and Portland State University that would lead to a B.S. in Environmental Science is currently pending review and approval. Contact the faculty advisor for further information.

However students from MHCC seeking a baccalaureate degree may also transfer to other institutions with different requirements. Students interested in transferring to a four-year college or university after MHCC are highly encouraged to consult with the institution they will be attending.
