Chemistry
Award Type: Associate in Science for Transfer
The Associate in Science in Chemistry for Transfer prepares students to begin upper-division coursework leading to a baccalaureate degree in chemistry at the California State University. The University of California typically requires the addition of multivariable calculus and differential equations for chemistry transfers. Associate Degree for Transfer Requirements Completion of 60 semester units that are eligible for transfer to the California State University, including the following: 1. Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) or the California State University General Education-Breadth (CSU GE). 2. A minimum of 18 semester units in a major or area of emphasis as determined by the community college district. 3, Obtainment of an overall minimum grade point average of 2.0. 4. Minimum grade of C, or P grade, for each course in the major. [The following Allan Hancock College graduation requirements will not be required: Health and Wellness, Multicultural Gender Studies and Allan Hancock College General Education.]The graduate of the Associate in Science for Transfer in Chemistry will:
- Demonstrate mastery of the approach and rationale of the scientific method and be able to apply these principles to solve problems.
- Demonstrate mastery of stoichiometric calculations.
- Demonstrate mastery of laboratory techniques.
