The Environmental Sciences Specialization of the Associate of Science Track 1 degree provides a well-rounded foundation to support students who wish to major in environmental sciences. This specialization prepares students to transfer as an environmental sciences major with junior standing at our primary transfer institutions within the State of Washington.

Students receiving this degree may need to take additional General Education requirements at their baccalaureate institution during their junior and senior years, just like students who began their major at those institutions. This is due to the number of prerequisite math and science courses and sequences for science majors taken during the freshman and sophomore years.

Many classes required for the Associate of Science Degree are only offered once or twice per year. Students pursuing this degree are strongly advised to work with a TCC faculty advisor to plan their program of study, including the selection of elective courses.

Students pursuing this degree are strongly advised to contact their potential transfer institutions early regarding the specific course choices in each area of the degree. In addition, students should check with their potential transfer institutions about minimum GPA requirements, possible higher minimum GPA requirements in selected subsets of courses, and minimum grade requirements in specific courses.

The following course set fulfills the Specialization Requirement of the Associate of Science Track 1 degree and is appropriate for students studying environmental sciences.
