Program Description:

Want to make the world a better place? Concerned about the future? Looking for a job where you can make a difference? CCBC Environmental Science and Technology (ENVS) students work towards cleaner environment, improving their education and their careers — all at the same time.

ENVS courses mix theory and principles of environmental science with applied, hands-on experiences. Our students learn to monitor and sample environmental conditions, use computer programs to solve environmental problems, and explore environmental policies and technologies. A program highlight is the directed practicum where credits are awarded for work at environmental companies, government agencies or non-profit environmental organizations.

The ENVS program is designed for students planning to transfer to four-year colleges, pursue employment upon graduation and upgrade skills or pursue retraining. Students seeking transfer, career and training options should contact the program coordinators at the Catonsville, Dundalk and Essex campuses in order to develop an individualized course plan.
