Program Description The Earth Sciences Specialization of the Associate of Science Track 1 degree provides a well-rounded foundation to support students who wish to major in earth sciences. This specialization prepares students to transfer as an earth sciences major with junior standing at our primary transfer institutions within the State of Washington. Students receiving this degree will need to take additional General Education requirements at their baccalaureate institution during their junior and senior years, just like students who began their major at those institutions. This is due to the number of prerequisite math and science courses and sequences for science majors taken during the freshman and sophomore years.
