Forestry

Forestry Advisor: Ruth Ann Mikels

Students may complete the first two years of a Bachelor's Degree in Forestry at Tacoma Community College. The program of studies listed below leads to the Associate in Arts and Sciences Degree (Option B). Upon completion of this degree, students may transfer to the School of Forest Resources within the College of the Environment at the University of Washington at the University of Washington.

Preparation: While in high school, students should pursue all the available courses in mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, and computer programming.

Program Planning: Students should meet with a Forestry advisor as soon as they are admitted to Tacoma Community College. Many courses have prerequisites, are offered only once or twice a year, and are sequential. Careful selection of classes each quarter is necessary to complete the program without delay.

Students interested in transferring to forestry at institutions other than the University of Washington are advised to meet with the forestry advisor of their chosen four-year institution during their freshman year. Some institutions have specific admissions requirements that may differ from this program.

• Some students may need to take additional prerequisite courses.
• *A TCC course that transfers as a University of Washington VLPA (Visual, Literary, and performing Arts) course. See the UW Course Equivalency Guide for TCC.
