Sample Transfer Path

Transfer JCC-to-Fredonia: Life Sciences, A.S. to Environmental Sciences, B.S.
Sample Transfer Path

The Environmental Sciences, B.S. degree integrates the strengths of programs in Biology, Chemistry, and Geosciences to understand the Earth ecosystem as a whole. Students demonstrate their ability to conduct independent work in the environmental sciences through internships with local conservation departments, consulting firms or municipalities, or through research with a faculty member. Possible careers after completion of this major include: environmental consulting, resource management, conservation scientist, aquatic and fishery research/management, wildlife management, conservation officer, and environmental and community planning

The 海角社区 is committed to doing our part to provide transfer students a clear path to graduation. This four-year degree plan is a sample map for fulfilling requirements at your Community College and Fredonia. The pathway that you take to your degree may differ somewhat from this illustration, depending on where you start and the decisions you make along the way. Equivalent transfer courses are listed on the map with additional transfer notes provided at the end. Visit our Transfer Credit Equivalency page for additional transfer course information.
