Sustainability and Environmental Studies
Program Overview
Welcome to Environmental Science! Our mission is clear: to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to address global challenges, champion sustainability, and advocate for justice. Here, we recognize the inseparable connection between environmental justice and racial/social equity. Students engage deeply with these issues. Our instructors cultivate the systems thinking that is crucial for confronting climate change, resource scarcity, and systemic inequalities -- both here in the Monterey Bay area and globally. Our department works to foster cultural relevance and responsibility while advocating for justice, while we connect with local environmental employers and groups. Environmental Science opens doors to diverse careers and pathways for change, as well as transfer paths to UC and CSU. Join us to help shape a just and sustainable future, and find your own spark for change.
