Environmental Science, Technology & Policy, B.S.~ General Junior Transfer Pathway

Because CSUMB is outcomes-based, this chronological pathway lists each target outcome first either as an MLO (Major Learning Outcome) or ULR/GLO (University Learning Requirements / Graduation Learning Outcomes). It then shows courses aligned with those outcomes along with credits and an indication of when they are offered. For more information on a course-including title, credits, description, and prerequisites-click its number. For more information on an outcome, click on its abbreviated name.

This pathway, intended as a reference, models graduation after earning 60 credits at CSUMB. It is unlikely that your actual pathway will look exactly like the model due to several factors:

  • The number of credits you transfer into CSUMB with, and how those credits articulate with CSUMB requirements
  • Whether you have completed all of the transfer preparation courses for the major (If you have not completed lower-division prerequisite courses before enrolling at CSUMB, you should expect to spend one or two extra semesters completing your degree requirements.)
  • The ENVS concentration that you select as listed under requirements (Some concentrations do not require Math 151.)
  • Whether or not you need to take additional courses to meet the CSUMB Language ULR as a Graduation Learning Outcome (This pathway assumes you have not met the language requirement prior to your first semester at CSUMB. If you have already met the requirement in whole or in part, you can adjust your coursework accordingly in consultation with your major advisor.)
  • Whether or not you need to take additional coursework to meet the Technology and Information ULR as a Graduation Learning Outcome (This pathway assumes you have not met this requirement prior to your first semester at CSUMB. If you have, you can adjust your coursework accordingly in consultation with your major advisor.)
  • Actual availability of courses during a given semester
  • Personal choices you make in your Individual Learning Plan-in consultation with your major advisors-including the decision to pursue more than the minimal learning requirements
  • You must earn nine upper-division General Education credits after you have reached upper-division status. Upper-division GE courses taken when you are a lower-division student do not count toward this requirement.

You should consult an ENVS advisor for course scheduling details. If you work or participate extensively in extracurricular activities, we advise that you adjust your schedule to include winter term, summer term, or additional semesters so that you do not take more than 14-16 units in any one semester.

* If you want to complete additional lower-division courses before transferring, you may take the courses marked by an asterisk at a community college.
