The Earth and Environmental Sciences Associate Degree is an Associate of Science credential with a specialization in Earth and Environmental Sciences, offered by Douglas College's Science and Technology faculty. Coursework examines how Earth's systems have formed and interacted over time, including plate tectonics, earthquakes, volcanoes, the fossil record, resource extraction and its environmental impacts, and global climate change. The credential is a two-year, full-time program worth 60 transferable credits, of which at least 18 must be in Earth and Environmental Sciences and nine of those at the second-year level. Graduation requires a minimum program GPA of 2.00 and at least half the coursework completed at Douglas College. Credits are designed to transfer to British Columbia's research universities (SFU, UBC, UBC Okanagan, UVic or UNBC) under the BC Transfer Guide, typically allowing entry into the third year of a related four-year bachelor's degree. Students may take an optional Co-operative Education stream, alternating study semesters with paid work terms.
