Purpose
This degree is intended to prepare students for a bachelor’s degree program at the institutions listed above. Other college and university degree programs will accept some of the Environmental Conservation credits in SVC’s AAS‑T Environmental Conservation degree. Students seeking transfer to degree programs other than those specifically designed for the AAS‑T in Environmental Conservation are urged to consider the AADTA direct transfer degree.
Although this degree will be granted to SVC students completing a minimum cumulative 2.0 GPA, entry into a baccalaureate program at a college or university will generally require a higher GPA for admission. Admission is competitive and not guaranteed; it is important to perform your best in all SVC college classes. Seeking out an advisor/counselor early in your studies is highly recommended.
