PROGRAM CODE: 1S43112
Financial Aid Eligible

The Chemistry Associate in Science Degree for UC Transfer, also known as the Chemistry AS-UCT, prepares students for transfer to UC campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in chemistry. This program aligns with the UC Transfer Pathway (UCTP). The Chemistry AS-UCT introduces students to general principles of inorganic and organic chemistry with associated laboratory analysis and prepares students for upper division coursework in the discipline of chemistry through the coursework in chemistry, physics and mathematics. Students with a degree in chemistry may pursue careers in a variety of fields such as pharmacy, medicine, engineering, teaching, biotechnology, patent law, and forensic science. Students completing this degree are guaranteed admission to the UC system, but not necessarily to a particular UC campus or major of their choice. In addition to completing the coursework and IGETC courses for this degree, students must achieve a cumulative minimum grade point average of 3.5 in the major. This degree requires 49 units in the major, 16-20 general education (IGETC) coursework, in addition to other graduation requirements. This degree requires 65-67

Program Student Learning Outcomes:

OUTCOME 1: Acquire the knowledge and skills, including the principles and applications of general and organic chemistry, experimental techniques and safety protocols in laboratory, necessary for transfer to a four-year institution.
