This is the experimental courses description. 522 Recreation 2025-2026 Official Catalog COSUMNES RIVER COLLEGE Science CRC students may choose courses in the various disciplines of science to meet any of several objectives. Courses are designed to: Prepare students for transfer and continuation of studies at other colleges or universities (chemistry, biology, medicine, etc.); meet general education requirements for non- science majors; prepare students for immediate entry into a science-based technology career; and provide for career advancement and continuing education. Many courses include hands-on practical experience and/or opportunities for work experience in local industry and business. The student, in consultation with a counselor, should choose science courses to meet his or her program, transfer, or general education requirements. The Counseling Center also has information regarding science requirements for transfer to other four-year institutions. Degrees and Certificates Offered A.S. in Environmental Studies & Sustainability A.S. in General Science A.S. in Geography Sustainability Certificate Dean Banafsheh Amini Phone (916) 691-7204 Email aminib2@crc.losrios.edu Associate Degrees A.S. in Environmental Studies & Sustainability The Environmental Studies & Sustainability Associate of Science degree is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary program of study that presents a broad overview of ecological issues from a variety of perspectives in the natural, physical, and social sciences. The coursework examines the interplay between natural and social systems, and the ideological foundations of humankind's attitudes and behaviors with respect to their ever-changing environment. This program is designed to prepare students to research, analyze, and propose solutions to the myriad environmental challenges facing the world today. This degree is designed to correlate with the lower division courses required to transfer into an Environmental Studies program at many four-year institutions as well as provide broad-based environmental education for transfer in related disciplines. The disciplines of environmental studies and geography are complementary fields, both focused on aspects of human- environment interaction. This complementarity is reflected in the many 4-year institutions that house combined Geography and Environmental Study programs. Students interested in double-majoring in these two closely-related disciplines, and/or simultaneously earning a Certificate in Geographic Information Systems, are encouraged to examine the required coursework and plan their program of study accordingly. Students should use PROJECT ASSIST (http://www.assist.org) to research lower division major requirements at the transfer institution of their choice and should also work with the program adviser and a counselor to determine the appropriate transfer coursework. Students interested in pursuing an Environmental Science major should consult with science faculty and counselors to tailor the specific coursework necessary to transfer to the 4- year institution of their choice.
