Natural Sciences Transfer
Prepare for a four‑year natural sciences program by completing general education requirements. Earn an AS‑T degree and transfer into most bachelor’s programs with junior standing.

Features & Highlights
- Easy transfer: articulation agreements with most Washington State four-year colleges
- Supportive learning: students fulfill the majority of their chosen major's math and science requirements in small, supportive class environments with faculty expert attention
- Scholarships: program-specific funding available through the Foundation
- Honors College eligible: students can apply to the Honors College for advanced classes, research opportunities, leadership experience, additional transfer support, and community connections
Program Learning Outcomes
- Demonstrate the use of scientific observation and experimentation to explain aspects of the natural world.
- Apply fundamental concepts of a scientific discipline to make reasonable predictions about the natural world.
