Associate of Science Transfer, Life Sciences
This program of study provides core courses in science and mathematics in the context of a Native American Studies curriculum for students interested in pursuing careers in marine biology, health sciences or natural resources. The Life Sciences degree is designed to meet most of the prerequisites for entrance into a four-year college or university science program in Washington State. The number of required non-science courses is reduced therefore transfer students must complete additional General University Requirements (GUR/GER) after transfer. Students completing the Life Sciences degree will be given priority status for admission by most Washington State baccalaureate granting institutions and will be given junior status. Students need to consult with their advisor before selecting courses to ensure that they meet the requirements of the college or university to which they plan to transfer.
