Discover green-focused specializations for a
green-focused future!
Students interested in environmental policy and analysis as well as
environment management, including stewardship of natural resources, pollution
management, fish and wildlife management, and hazardous materials, will find our
degree and certificate programs rewarding and beneficial in preparing for a
career in many industries pertaining to 
our environment.
The AAS in Environmental Management is designed to prepare persons for either full-time employment in the field or for continued studies at appropriate four year institutions. In addition, current specializations in Alternative Energy Technology and Environmental Health and Safety will allow students to tailor the curriculum towards a general, more applied background in environmental technology which includes, but is not limited to, such classes as geology, hydrology, conservation, soil science, and forestry.
