 Return to: Programs: Transfer Pathways
Total Credits: 60
Major Code: 9415
Program Description
The Chemistry Transfer Pathway Associate of Science (AS) degree program 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.

Program Goals
By completing this program, students will achieve the following learning goals:
- Demonstrate basic knowledge and understanding of the fundamentals of experimental and theoretical chemistry;
- Explain and apply skills in analytical thinking and problem solving, and apply scientific methods to experimental data;
- Demonstrate skills in laboratory operations including making accurate and precise measurements, preparing solutions, operating instrumentation, experimental design, and the interpretation and reporting of quantitative and qualitative data and results;
- Communicate their own data and analysis in oral and written communications that uses tables and graphs, describe detailed experimental procedures, and clearly explain conclusions, in order to create clear and compelling papers, posters, or presentations;
- Work both independently and collaboratively in the classroom and in the laboratory; and
- Apply learned concepts to everyday situations and experiences, and critically evaluate contributions to science reported in the media; identify valid approaches to scientific problem solving and reporting.
