Where does my path start?
You will complete an Associate of Science-Transfer (AS-T) Track 1 degree at Shoreline.
Use the AS-T Track 1 Degree Planning Guide, with this sheet, to understand the requirements for graduation.
Once you complete your Shoreline degree, you can transfer to a four-year school to earn a Bachelor Science (B.S.) in Environmental Health.
Environmental Health is excellent preparation for graduate studies in public health, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, education and law.
