Environmental and Ecosystem Sciences Transfer Guide

Students planning to transfer to Washington State University who want to major in Environmental and Ecosystem Sciences should take courses that will meet the 100 and 200 level course requirements in Chemistry and Mathematics, English, Speech and UCORE in the Social Sciences.

At this time the Global Campus does not offer CHEM 102 online and you must have it completed before being admitted to the major.

Many Washington state colleges utilize a common course numbering system, subject&. They indicate that the content of these courses are similar throughout the Washington community college system.
