Chemistry: Transfer Pathway
Award:
Associate of Science
Total Credits for Award:
60.00
Description:
The Associate of Science Chemistry Transfer Pathway offers students the opportunity to focus on gaining course credits that directly transfer to a Chemistry bachelor’s degree program at any one of the seven universities within the Minnesota State system that offers the major. The entire curriculum has been carefully designed to meet bachelor’s degree program requirements for transfer students planning initial study at a Minnesota State college. Students planning to transfer outside of the Minnesota State System are advised to consult with their intended transfer institution to determine transferability of the courses in this curriculum.
You will learn and apply central theories in chemistry, which apply to various disciplines, including health sciences, biological sciences and engineering. You will gain extensive laboratory experience utilizing various techniques and instruments. You will learn computer skills associated with data analysis and presentation, good laboratory practices and how to document laboratory procedures. You will learn to effectively work in cooperative teams in a laboratory setting to plan and complete experiments in a timely manner, as well as to give oral and written presentations.
*This transfer pathway in Associate of Science in Chemistry will transfer to the following majors:
- Bemidji State University: Chemistry, BA or Chemistry, BS
- Metropolitan State University: Chemistry, BS
- Minnesota State University, Mankato: Chemistry-ACS Approved, BS
- Minnesota State University, Moorhead: Chemistry, BA or Chemistry BS
- Southwest Minnesota State University: Chemistry, BA
- St. Cloud State University: Chemistry-ACS Approved, BS
- Winona State University: Chemistry(General), BS or Chemistry, BS
