Bachelor Degree Help - envirodude - 09-17-2024
Hello! I am finishing an associate's degree in Environmental Technology and want to get a related Bachelor's degree ASAP. I'm interested in Environmental Science, Environmental Management, or something similar. So far, I've only found Columbia Southern and SNHU. Are there any other pathways out there? Any suggestions on which path might be best for me?

Welcome to the board, great initial post with all the info from the addendum and template. Your best bet is the TESU BA Environmental Studies, it is one I would really look into, there is also the BS Environmental Science at U of Phoenix (gasp, yes, them). You can also take a look at other options such as the ones found on the forum threads or the WIKI search.

I definitely agree with TESU's environmental Studies degree. You already have afew of the needer courses and if you are willing to do Lawshelf - GOV-202 Basics of Environmental Law ENS-360 Environ Sustainability & Social Justice 3 then you will fulfill one of the upper level courses. CSU does take some safety certifications as credits, so if you have any like Hazwooper, OSHA 30, etc. They may take those for credit.
