Savings = credits × $136 (Nexford BBA total $16,320 ÷ 120 credits, US/Canada/China region, from Nexford University Catalog 2026). Nexford credit awards are subject to Nexford's transfer credit evaluation per its institutional policies. Rates may vary by region — Group 2 (Finland/Iceland) is $112/cr, Group 3 (Kenya/Egypt/Philippines/Thailand/Indonesia) $74/cr, Group 4 (Nigeria/Ghana) $64/cr.
Environmental Science is the study of how natural systems work and how people affect them. It brings together biology, ecology, chemistry, and earth science to explain topics like ecosystems, water resources, climate change, biodiversity, food production, and human health. The subject focuses on understanding environmental problems and using evidence to think through realistic solutions.
Environmental Science (ENV 121) is a 1-credit, self-paced online course built around video lessons, quizzes, assignments, and a final exam. The grade is based on 20% quizzes, 30% assignments, and 50% the final exam, so students are assessed across the course rather than in a single sitting. When the transcript is issued, Nexford University can review it as transfer credit and recognize it as a Natural and Physical Science Elective, which satisfies a general-education requirement.
This course gives you a practical way to understand ecosystems, climate, water, and sustainability, which is useful in jobs that involve planning, operations, or decision-making. At Nexford, that kind of general-education credit can support degree progress in programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration, where a Natural and Physical Science Elective still counts toward the degree plan. It can also help you read environmental issues more carefully in everyday life and work.
After you finish the course, the transcript is sent for review and Nexford University applies the credit according to its transfer policy. In this case, Environmental Science is recognized as a Natural and Physical Science Elective, so it can satisfy a general-education requirement rather than a major-specific course. That matters because it can free up space in the degree plan for programs such as the Associate of Applied Science or Bachelor of Business Administration. Nexford’s transfer ceiling is 90 credits, which is 75% of an undergraduate program, and its DEAC-accredited transfer evaluation is free and no-obligation.
This course is a good fit if you are trying to move credits toward Nexford and want a general-education science requirement that can transfer as a Natural and Physical Science Elective. It may suit students who need flexible study while working or finishing a degree, especially since Nexford allows up to 90 credits, or 75%, to transfer. It is not the best choice if you want a lab-heavy science sequence or a course that is meant to stay within a technical major rather than count as gen-ed.
Nexford University is DEAC-accredited and offers a free, no-obligation transfer credit evaluation. Its flexible policy lets you transfer up to 75% of an undergraduate program toward your degree.
Transfer credits are never guaranteed. Final credit awards are determined solely by the receiving university's registrar.
