The Associate in Science in Chemistry for Transfer (A.S.-T in Chemistry) prepares students to transfer into the CSU system leading to a Baccalaureate degree in Chemistry. Students with this degree also have a foundation in science to pursue other science-related fields or engineering. Please consult a counselor regarding specific course requirements for your transfer institution. Successful completion of the A.S.-T in Chemistry degree also provides guaranteed admission with junior status to the CSU system, although does not guarantee admission to a specific campus or major. Upon completion of the A.S.-T in Chemistry degree, students will gain a foundation in general and organic chemistry which is necessary in many fields of science and engineering.

**Requirements for all Associate Degrees for Transfer:**

1.  Completion of 60 semester CSU transferable units.
2.  Completion of the California General Education Transfer Curriculum (Cal-GETC). The CSU-GE (California State University General Education Breadth) or IGETC (Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum) pattern may be used in some cases; please see a counselor for details.
3.  Obtainment of a minimum grade point average of at least a 2.0 in all CSU transferable coursework.
4.  Minimum grade of "C" (or "P") for each course in the major. If the course was taken on a Pass/No Pass basis the "P" must be equal to a "C" or better.
5.  Completion of a minimum of 18 semester units in the major or area of emphasis.

**Learning Outcome(s):**

1.  Students will develop proficiency and knowledge of chemistry concepts, laboratory techniques and experimental data collection/analysis.
