I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here goes.
I started out my college career as a musical theatre major at a private liberal arts/theatre school. I quickly realized that was not for me and switched majors and schools. I switched to one of the more well-known CUNY schools and am currently a sophomore double majoring in Political Science and Environmental Studies (Environmental Earth Science concentration).
Within my BA Environmental Studies major, I’ve been taking some science courses (General Chemistry, Weather and Climate, etc) and really, really enjoying them. I was not expecting to love the science courses as much as I did. My plan was to work in something related to environmental policy.
However, I’m now beginning to think that I want something more science-focused. I’m considering transferring to CUNY City College because they have a BS Environmental Science degree. It’s one of the “sciencey” Environmental Science degrees. It’s required you take Bio, Chem, Physics, Calc 3, etc. You can also choose a concentration in Environmental Chemistry or Ecology/Biology. My current program is based within the Geography department at my CUNY school, so you only take Gen Chem and then all geography/geology courses.
I have a few questions:
Would I be much more employable with a BS Env Science degree vs a BA Env Studies/Political Science?
Would it look bad to employers that I transferred schools twice? Or would it not really matter since my second transfer would be within the same university system, CUNY? Basically, is it worth the headache to transfer again?
This decision is causing me so much stress so any help is greatly appreciated!
TL;DR - I’m currently BA Env Studies, considering transferring to BS Env Science. Would the BS greatly improve career opportunities? It would be my second time transferring.
