Environmental Science

Advisor: Sue Habeck

Students may complete the first two years of a Bachelor's Degree in Environmental Science at Tacoma Community College. The program of studies listed below leads to the Associate of Science Degree with an Environmental Sciences Specialization. Upon completion of this degree, students may be able to transfer to most four-year colleges and universities as juniors.

Note that degree requirements in environmental science programs at four-year institutions vary greatly across the state.  Consult with an advisor immediately upon deciding to pursue environmental science in order to get the best information to reach your transfer goal.

Although the Environmental Science advisors make every effort to consult with various colleges and universities regarding requirements, students are encouraged to consult catalogs, websites, and advisors at their chosen four-year institution during their freshman year.

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

Program Planning: Students should meet with an environmental science advisor as soon as they are admitted to Tacoma Community College. Students may also refer to the Associate of Science degree description. 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.Top of Form
