BA in Environmental Studies at TESU

[sanantone]

TESU had an environmental science program, but I think it's gone. Environmental studies is not the same as environmental science. Environmental studies usually has little hard science and focuses on social science issues, and this is true for TESU's program. If I can find an old catalog with the environmental science program, I'll post the link here. There's a reason why TESU had both programs.

The Environmental, Safety, and Security Technologies program is neither an environmental science nor environmental studies program. You might be able to fool some people into thinking that the AAS in ESST and the BA in Environmental Studies are science programs, but you want to be prepared for whatever you plan to do. If you're just going to work in policy and advocacy, then environmental studies will be fine. If you want to be an environmental scientist, environmental science technician, or anything related to the life sciences, then you will not be prepared for those careers with those degrees.

The BA in Biology is more alternative credit and online course-friendly than the BA in Environmental Studies.
