**CHEMISTRY

Associate in Science for Transfer**

Description

The Associate in Science in Chemistry for Transfer (AS-T) Degree is intended to meet the lower division requirements for Chemistry and Chemical Education majors at a CSU campus that offers a Chemistry baccalaureate degree.

This degree provides for the completion of general lower-division preparation associated with the requirements for a bachelor's degree in chemistry, biochemistry, chemical engineering, and other fields. It provides a broad, comprehensive overview of the main areas of chemistry and its' applications. The ability to critically think and use appropriate tools to solve chemical questions will be emphasized.

In addition to the courses listed below, the following requirements must be met for completion of the AS-T Degree in Chemistry:

1. Completion of 60 CSU-transferable semester units. 2. Achievement of a minimum GPA of at least 2.0 in all CSU-transferable coursework. (Some majors may require a higher GPA. Students should consult with a counselor for more information.) 3. Completion of the major with a grade of “C” or better in each course or a "P" if the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis and the "P" is equal to a "C" or better. 4. Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE) or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.

Students are advised to check with the Counseling Department or Transfer Center for courses accepted into the Chemistry major at the CSU where they seek transfer.
