A Four-Year Degree from Skagit?

Yes, that’s right…
Skagit Valley College approved for first-ever Bachelor of Applied Science degree
Students will be able to earn a Bachelor of Applied Science in Environmental Conservation degree in Mount Vernon when Skagit Valley College (SVC) offers its first-ever four-year program in September. The State Board for Community and Technical Colleges approved the degree in Olympia on March 27th.
“Skagit, Island, and San Juan counties provide an incredible natural learning environment,” said SVC President Dr. Thomas Keegan. “By offering a Bachelor of Applied Science in Environmental Conservation, Skagit Valley College will prepare highly skilled ecology professionals who will have a solid understanding of the unique environmental issues facing our region.”
The BAS in Environmental Conservation degree will serve graduates of SVC’s two-year Environmental Conservation program and incumbent workers who are place-bound. The program is designed as a hybrid program, incorporating on-campus learning, lab, and fieldwork, as well as online components. It offers a blend that works well with students who have their two-year degree and who want to complete their four-year degree locally.
