Environmental Engineering Technology to Earth Science
An opportunity to gain an associate degree from Delaware Tech and a bachelor's degree from Salisbury University.
Your Path to a Bachelor's Degree
Delaware Tech has established agreements with four-year colleges and universities that connect Delaware Tech associate degree programs with bachelor's degree programs to create smooth transfer opportunities for you. These Connected Degree programs enable you to complete your associate degree and then transfer to a four-year degree program as a junior.
The Connected Degree 2+2 Curriculum
Delaware Tech's Environmental Engineering Technology program provides students with knowledge and skills in the general and technical aspects of preventing, assessing, and managing environmental issues. Students in this program master common practice environmental procedures. The degree focuses on practical education with courses covering the basic quantitative and conceptual skills required of environmental engineering technicians. The curriculum is broad-based to meet the demands of a range of environmental positions. Graduates are prepared for entry-level positions in the environmental engineering technology field. Salisbury University's Bachelor of Science degree program in Earth Science focuses on giving students a broad background in the geosciences and its application to solving environmental problems and mitigating natural hazards. Students complete courses in geology, weather and climate, map interpretation, geographic information science, statistics, chemistry and physics. One key feature of the coursework in the Earth Science degree is a commitment to field work and experiential studies. Many of the core and elective courses in the Earth Science program include class field trips and intensive, hands-on lab activities. The coursework required for this degree provides a solid undergraduate knowledge which serves as a strong foundation for students continuing on to graduate studies or onto a career in the geosciences.
