Student Pathway 2021−2022 Chemistry for UC Transfer

Chemistry Associate in Science Degree for UC Transfer

An Associate in Science in Chemistry for UC Transfer is designed for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree in a similar major at a UC campus. An Associate in Science in Chemistry for UC Transfer develops a student’s ability to collect, record, organize, analyze, critically evaluate, and interpret chemical information and data. Within the program a student learns how to apply appropriate theories and techniques, to solve quantitative and qualitative problems. The program involves learning how to use computational and critical thinking skills, applying concept knowledge, and effectively communicating scientific information. These skills and this set of knowledge is valuable to a student transferring to a UC to major in chemistry. It also enhances a student’s preparation to go on to earn a graduate degree as well as a wide range of rewarding careers.
