College of Arts and Sciences (CAS)
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE (BS)
The purpose of this degree is to fulfill the educational needs of
students who are preparing for careers in natural resource
management. As the national consciousness of the finite nature of
natural resources has increased, the extraction industries, agriculture
and manufacturers in general have been required to change the way
they handle natural resources. Interactions between companies that
consume natural resources and regulations governing the conservation
of these resources have led to the creation of new disciplines and new
career opportunities. Graduate schools in colleges of agriculture as well
as in colleges of arts and sciences offer degrees and graduate
assistantships in a multitude of environmental areas. The emergence of
new jobs in natural resource management indicate the opportunities for
graduates in environmental science.BS: ENL

ACAD hours do not count in minimum hours required for degree.PRE-VETERINARY MEDICINE
ACU offers the background courses needed prior to entering a school
of veterinary medicine. While at ACU, a student may choose to follow
the plan recommended by Texas A&M University. Others choose to
complete the BS at ACU before entering veterinary school. An
appropriate major in this case is animal science. See the department
chair or animal science advisor for further information.
COOPERATIVE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
DEGREE (BS)
ACU awards the bachelor's degree to qualified students who have
satisfactorily completed three years of prescribed work at ACU (a
minimum of 104 hours) plus one year at a recognized school of
veterinary medicine. Pre-veterinary students in the cooperative
program are advised by a professor in animal sciences.
Admission Requirements
Before being admitted to a program, a student must satisfy the
requirements listed in the SAT/ACT Placement section of this catalog.
