Pre-CHEMISTRY – TRANSFER
Chemistry is a fundamental physical science that deals with the nature of materials and energy in
humans, animals, plants, and the world around us. Earning a degree in chemistry prepares students
for variety of career fields as diverse as medicine, pharmacology, environmental science,
engineering, industry, education, ecology, forensic science, or agriculture.
The chemistry program provides courses to meet a variety of student needs. For science and
engineering majors, up to one year of college transfer course work is available in the form of our
General Chemistry series (CHEM& 161, 162, 163). Students enrolled in this program will earn an Associates of Science
– Transfer Degree (AS-T Track I) with an annotation of Chemistry Pre-Major.
If you are planning on transferring to a 4-year institution, you should consult program outlines published by those
colleges or universities to which you intend to transfer. Our faculty members are happy to help guide students through
this process and the sooner you come talk with us, the faster we can get you on track to an exciting career in the sciences.
