The Associate in Science in Chemistry for Transfer (A.S.-T in Chemistry) prepares students to transfer into the CSU system leading to a Baccalaureate degree in Chemistry. Students with this degree also have a foundation in science to pursue other science-related fields or engineering. Please consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for your transfer institution. Successful completion of the A.S.-T in Chemistry degree also provides guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system, although does not guarantee admission to a specific campus or major. Students earning a Chemistry AS-T should select IGETC for STEM to complete the general education requirement. See Associate Degrees for Transfer for a list of additional requirements for all Associate in Arts for Transfer (A.A.-T.) and Associate in Science for Transfer(A.S.-T.) degrees. Upon completion of the A.S.-T in Chemistry degree, students will gain a foundation in general and organic chemistry which is necessary in many fields of science and engineering.

NOTE: Completion of IGETC for STEM is recommended for the general education portion of this degree. For those planning to meet the CSU admission requirement an oral communication course, IGETC Area 1C, must be included.

Learning Outcome(s):
