About Environmental Science Bs in California State University, Chico
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science program strives to best prepare students to be engaged in solving environmental and sustainability problems with a strong scientific foundation. This is accomplished through a broad curriculum that covers the fundamentals of biology, geology, chemistry, and physics and then moves students through key principles of environmental science. During the first two years, students complete ERTH coursework in geology, atmospheric science, soil science, and energy. During the last two years, students complete coursework in hydrology, ecology, environmental sensing, and Earth system science. In addition, students are required to choose one of four degree options (applied ecology, atmosphere and climate, energy and earth resources, or hydrology). The degree options provide students with the opportunity to choose three upper-division courses in an area of their interest.
