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.

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.
