Environmental Science Transfer

Program Statement

This program is for students intending to transfer to a 4-year institution to major in Environmental Science, Ecology, Marine Biology, Resource Management or related fields. Students will develop skills and background knowledge necessary to succeed in a Bachelor’s degree.

Program Information

  • BIO 121 and 122 and CHM 113 and 114 should be taken in the first year if possible to provide the necessary foundation for subsequent science electives.
  • Choose program electives in consultation with the program coordinator to align with your career goals and specific 4-year transfer program.

After Bristol

  • With an Associates in Science - Life Sciences Environmental Science Transfer degree, students will be able to transfer to a 4-year institution with a solid background in Environmental Science that will allow them to take upper level Biology and Environmental Science classes. 
  • Bristol participates in the statewide MassTransfer program and has developed many program-to-program transfer articulation agreements which guarantee admission and credit transfer. For a complete listing of eligible MassTransfer programs, current Bristol articulation agreements, and to complete an A2B Program Search, visit the Transfer Services website to review which credits will be transferred and applied to your degree.
