The Ecological Restoration and
Watershed Management program is
designed to prepare students for
employment in the fields of
environmental assessment, monitoring,
management, and restoration.
Students can find employment in
private enterprises (a wide variety of
industries and consulting firms),
environmental organizations, and
public agencies (parks, forests,
wildlands, urban and regional planning
agencies, etc.) to assess and monitor
environmental quality, help prepare
environmental impact reports, assist
planners and managers, and perform
environmental restoration work in
urban/suburban, rural, and wildland
settings.
The AS degree in Ecological
Restoration and Watershed
Management will be awarded upon
satisfactory completion of the Major
course requirements and the General
Education requirements. A Certificate
will be awarded upon satisfactory
completion of the major course
requirements. A Certificate of
Achievement is also available for this
program.
