Associate in Science Transfer Track 2 - Atmospheric Science Specialization

The Associate in Science Transfer Track 2 - Atmospheric Science Specialization provides a well-rounded foundation to support students who wish to major in atmospheric science or meteorology.

Upon completion, students will be eligible to transfer with junior standing to most Washington State baccalaureate institutions. Students transferring out of state should work closely with their intended transfer institutions to understand how courses in this degree will transfer.

Many classes required for this degree are offered only once or twice a year. Students should work closely with Associate in Science advisors to plan their programs of study, including elective courses.

This degree does NOT satisfy all General Education requirements of baccalaureate institutions. Like students who begin their science studies at baccalaureate institutions as freshmen, students who transfer with Associate in Science degrees will typically be required to complete some general education requirements during their junior and senior years.

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.
