What is FRCs Environmental Studies Program Like?
The Environmental Studies (ENVR) program examines the interactions of physical and biological processes in the biosphere with special emphasis on how those processes are affected by human use of the landscape. The Environmental Studies major at Feather River College is a broad-based, science-oriented curriculum designed to prepare students for a variety of careers related to solving environmental and resource issues. Surrounded by thousands of acres of public forests in a watershed that provides much of California’s water supply, FRC is uniquely situated to offer the Environmental Studies curriculum. From California’s water wars to the impact of spotted owls on forest management decisions, we are located at the focal point of many of today’s hottest environmental issues.
