Environmental Science
Students may combine a basic core course with classes from a variety of college divisions
in a focused study of environmental issues. The program is designed to provide students
with a basic understanding of the complex environmental issues and opportunities faced by
society, develop and refine their environmental values, and prepare themselves for
transfer to colleges or universities for further studies in environmental or other career
fields.
International Studies
The International Studies program is designed to give students a foundation for
international careers with business, government, humanitarian agencies, military or
civilian intelligence, education, or a variety of other careers that may require
international travel, residence or expertise.
This program integrates several academic disciplines. It is intended to increase awareness, sensitivity, and understanding of the world by studying various culture’s history, geography, political and economic conditions, arts and religion.
Agricultural Engineering
This program is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the issues
associated with agriculture and society. Through classes across the curriculum students
will become aware of agricultural technological advances and their contribution to
society.See Agronomy/Ag Engineering for a major in Environmental, Soil, and Water Resource
Management (pg. 51).
