UCTP Chemistry

UCTP Chemistry

The Associate of Science in Chemistry (UC-T) is an appropriate degree for students interested in transferring to a University of California school or other four-year university as a major in chemistry. This major will provide students with a full two years of chemistry education as well as a strong foundation in math and physics. This AS-UCT degree offered is designed specifically for the University of California system though it should satisfy transfer requirements to most other colleges or universities; students should still speak with completion advisors if they have any intentions of transferring to one of these other schools. Upon completion of the following requirements, the student will be eligible for an Associate Degree for Transfer: (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. California General Education Transfer Curriculum (CalGETC). 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) The completion of all courses required for the major with a “C” or better. A “P” (Pass) grade is acceptable for courses in the major.
