This profile appeals to those students who have a keen interest in science, in the workings of the environment, and a love of the outdoors!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-content\"><div class=\"dc_faq\" id=\"can-i-go-into-environmental-science-and-then-switch-to-another-science-profile\"><div class=\"dc_faq-title\"><button>Can I go into Environmental Science and then switch to another science profile?<\/button><\/div><div class=\"dc_faq-body\">\n<p>This is not a transfer that is recommended by Dawson. There is no guarantee that the request will be granted as space is limited. \u00a0Environmental Science is for students with a genuine interest in ecology.\u00a0 In this profile, students have Biology courses that are geared towards ecology rather than human biology.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"faq-content\"><div class=\"dc_faq\" id=\"does-graduating-from-the-profile-limit-students-choices-to-university-science-programs\"><div class=\"dc_faq-title\"><button>Does graduating from the profile limit students\u2019 choices to University Science Programs?<\/button><\/div><div class=\"dc_faq-body\">\n<p>No!
