The Environmental Studies Program is an interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary course
of study that presents a broad overview of ecological issues from a variety of perspectives.
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
environments. This program is designed to prepare students to research, analyze, and
propose solutions to the myriad environmental challenges facing the world today.
Many colleges and universities offer baccalaureate degrees in this field. Students
planning to transfer to a four-year college or university need to know which courses
completed at Santa Monica College will be accepted at the specific college/university.
Please consult a Counselor. SMC has transfer articulation agreements with the many UC and CSU campuses, as well as many private and out-of-state institutions.
