Chemistry Associate in Science Degree for Transfer
PROGRAM CODE: 2S36798
The Chemistry Associate in Science Degree for Transfer, also called the Chemistry AS-T Degree, prepares students to transfer to CSU campuses that offer bachelor's degrees in chemistry. Ed Code Section 66746-66749 states students earning the Chemistry AS-T degree will be granted priority for admission as a Chemistry major to a local CSU, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student applies. The Chemistry AS-T introduces students to general and organic chemistry, preparing students for further study in the discipline of chemistry. Coursework includes instruction in molecular-level interpretations regarding the properties and reactions of inorganic and organic substances. Students with a degree in chemistry may pursue careers in government agencies or various areas of industry, including environmental, pharmaceutical, and material chemistry. The Chemistry AS-T Degree requires a total of 36 units of required courses as indicated below. The following is required for all AA-T or AS-T degrees, and there are no additional graduation requirements: (1) Completion of 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including both of the following: (a) The Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education – Breadth Requirements. (b) A minimum of 18 semester units or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis, as determined by the community college district. (2) Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of 2.0. (3) ADTs also require that students must earn a C or better in all courses required for the major or area of emphasis. A “P” (Pass) grade is an acceptable grade for courses in the major only if the P is defined to be equivalent to a C or better.
