Where does my path start?
You will complete an Associate of Science-Transfer (AS-T) Track 1 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 of Arts (B.A.) or Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Sciences.
Environmental Sciences are excellent preparation for graduate studies in in Science, Social Sciences, Public Policy, Education, Business and Law.
