Chemistry Transfer Pathway

ASSOCIATE IN APPLIED SCIENCE, 60 CREDITS

Program Description:

The Chemistry Transfer Pathway, AS offers students a powerful option: the opportunity to complete an Associate of Science degree with course credits that directly transfer to designated Chemistry bachelor’s degree programs at Minnesota State universities. The curriculum has been specifically designed so that students completing this pathway degree and transferring to one of the seven Minnesota State universities enter the university with junior-year status. All courses in the Transfer Pathway associate degree will directly transfer and apply to the designated bachelor’s degree programs in a related field.

Designated bachelor’s degrees and universities:

Specific degree requirements will vary by institution.  Students should contact the receiving institution for specific upper division course requirements.  General Education courses should be selected carefully as double counting may be necessary, and to comply with upper division credit requirements.
