The population of the research was graduate students of Khuzestan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources in 2021 (N=488). Sample size using the table of Bartlett et al. (2001), 213 people were determined and stratified random method with proportional assignment (according to students' academic orientation) was used for sampling. D Data analysis was done using SPSS22 and SMART PLS3 statistical software. Based on the findings, knowledge (mean = 4.54 out of 5 and standard deviation = 0.92), attitude (mean = 4.24 out of 5 and standard deviation = 0.91), behavior (mean = 4.34 out of 5 and deviation standard = 0.94) and literacy (mean = 4.37 out of 5 and standard deviation = 0.90) the environmental environment of the students of agricultural sciences and natural resources of Khuzestan is evaluated at a favorable level. The ordinal regression analysis also showed that, in total, the environmental knowledge, attitude and behavior variables of Khuzestan agricultural science and natural resources students explain 58% of the probability of changing the level of the dependent variable of environmental competence of the mentioned students. The results of structural equation modeling approach indicate that environmental knowledge (β=0.625), environmental attitude (β=0.593) and environmental behavior of students of Khuzestan Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources (β=0.619), has a positive and significant effect on the environmental competence of the mentioned students.
