Environmental Studies

Chabot College offers an Associate in Arts Degree in Environmental Studies to provide students with a multidisciplinary overview of relationships between humans and the physical world. Contemporary environmental issues are examined from the vantage points of natural systems and ecology, human culture and cultural diversity, and modern political economy. The program enables the student to place emphasis on one of four approaches to the study of environment: the social/behavioral environment, social issues and ethics, environment and human health, or the physical/ecological environment.
