In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers developed a scale that, in its final form, consisted of (27) items.

Where the results of the study indicated that the level of environmental awareness among college students 85.78 was high at a rate of (85.78%), and the results showed that there was no statistically significant difference at the significance level (α = 0.05) in the level of environmental awareness for the gender variable, while there were statistically significant differences At the level (α = 0.05) in the level of awareness of the variable of specialization in favor of the mathematics major.
