Chemistry Associate in Science Degree for UC Transfer

PROGRAM CODE: 1S41936

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 and organic chemistry as well as allied coursework in both physics and mathematics, preparing students for further study in the discipline of chemistry. Coursework in the discipline of chemistry 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. Transfer Agreement Guarantee (TAG) 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 meet the specified requirements as stated in the Transfer Agreement Guarantee and achieve a cumulative minimum grade point average of 3.5 in the major. This degree requires 48 units in the major, in addition to other graduation requirements.
