The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in environmental science is designed for students already holding an Associate of Science (A.S.) or Associate of Arts (A.A.) degree from a regionally accredited college or university, to pursue a career as a laboratory/field technician and/or progress to a graduate degree program (M.S. or PhD). The curriculum will provide the students with a foundational understanding of science, critical thinking skills, experiential learning, ethics and specific technical knowledge and skills required to work in the laboratory or the field. As environmental science is a truly broad multidisciplinary field, three main tracks or minors will be available during the final half of the curriculum. These track/ minors will address the major specialties (physical, biological, GIS, etc.) Within the field and provide graduates with a wealth of discipline skills and knowledge that will make them competitive for employment within the environmental and biological science workforce. There are two concentrations of the B.S. in Environmental Science currently being offered: Biosecurity, Physical Sciences. Biosecurity: The Biosecurity track focuses on ecology, entomology, plant science, genetics and other aspects of environmental science. An optional Advanced Technical Certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides additional discipline skills and knowledge that will make them competitive for employment within the environmental and biological science workforce. Physical Science: The Physical Science track focuses on geology, hydrogeology, oceanography, and other aspects of environmental science. An optional Advanced Technical Certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides additional discipline skills and knowledge that will make them competitive for employment within the environmental and physical science workforce.

Accreditation: Broward College is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools to award associate and baccalaureate degrees.
