This program allows students to complete all of their 100- and 200-level courses for an ASU degree at MCCCD community colleges, then transfer for the last two years to ASU Polytechnic. This MAPP program helps save students money on tuition through the ASU Tuition Commitment from the time they enroll until they transfer to ASU, as long as eligibility requirements are met. Also, tuition rates at SCC are much lower than at ASU. The BS in Applied Biological Sciences (Wildlife & Restoration Ecology) degree is designed to prepare students who wish to work in the field of nature-based biology; wildlife management, conservation biology, habitat restoration ecology or related fields with government employers as well as private companies or non-governmental organizations. Emphasis of this degree is on conservation and management of wild, free ranging wildlife, plants, habitats and ecosystems. Typical jobs that may be sought after graduation might include wildlife biologist, game biologist, habitat specialist, wildlife planner, game warden or ranger, migratory bird specialist, reptile biologist, and wildlife sustainability specialist.
