Are you passionate about the environment?
Palomar College offers a Certificate of Achievement in Environmental Studies that prepares you to transfer into the Bachelor of Arts, Environmental Studies program at Cal State San Marcos (CSUSM).
Required Courses
- BIOL 118: General Ecology
- GEOG 100: Earth’s Dynamic Environment: Intro to Physical Geography
- GEOG 105: People and the Environment: Intro to Human Geography (counts for ENVS 100 at CSUSM)
- GEOG 120: Digital Earth: Intro to GIS
- PHSC 101: Principles of Physical Science
These five courses complete the certificate. However, to complete all of your lower-division major coursework prior to transfer, we recommend that you also take ENVS 210 at CSUSM while you are still a student at Palomar College, for only $10 per unit!

A counselor can help you schedule these courses into your GE program so that you will be ready for transfer into the bachelor’s program at CSUSM. If you would like more information on the program, please contact Wing Cheung or Cathy Jain. We would be happy to hear from you!
