Chemistry, Science Transfer Pattern

General Education - 38 Credits

Program Requirements - 16 Credits

• CHEM 123 - General Chemistry II 3 Credits.
• CHEM 124 - General Chemistry II Laboratory 1 Credits.
• CHEM 200 - Organic Chemistry I 3 Credits.
• CHEM 201 - Organic Chemistry I Laboratory 1 Credits.
• CHEM 202 - Organic Chemistry II 3 Credits.
• CHEM 203 - Organic Chemistry II Laboratory 1 Credits.
• PHYS 151 - General Physics I 4 Credits.

Program Electives - 6-7 Credits.

Recommended (Select at least 6-7 credits):

• MATH 252 - Calculus II 4 Credits.
• PHYS 251 - General Physics II 4 Credits.
• PHYS 252 - General Physics III 4 Credits.
• MATH 259 - Elementary Differential Equations 3 Credits.

Total Number of Credits Required for Degree: 60 min.*

*A new college orientation requirement, completion of the one-credit ACDV 101  course, Transitioning to College, went into effect spring 2010. If you are a credit student who is new to college (meaning you have not successfully completed college coursework at another institution(s)), you are required to take ACDV 101  during your first semester at CCBC, thereby increasing the number of credits required for the degree to a minimum of 61 credits. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) in order for this requirement to be waived.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this transfer pattern, students will be able to:

1. apply inorganic and organic chemical principles required for entry into science, engineering, and professional health programs, such as chemistry, biology, forensic science, environmental science, pharmacy school, dental school, dental hygiene program and nursing program, or for continuation at a four-year institution;
2. name and write formulas for inorganic and organic compounds;
3. predict outcomes of inorganic and organic reactions and write balanced chemical equations;
4. perform chemical calculations such as those involved in stoichiometry, thermodynamics, titrations, chemical kinetics, and chemical equilibrium;
5. utilize chemical terminology to explain, orally and in writing, the molecular perspective of inorganic and organic chemistry;
6. predict the stereochemistry and structure of the products and mechanisms involved, resulting from selected organic reagents;
7. use computers to gather and analyze data and/or to perform calculations;
8. use laboratory equipment, instruments and chemicals appropriately and safely in both the inorganic and organic laboratories;
9. use chemical data and scientific methods to solve problems involving chemical topics;
10. make and record observations and accurate measurements in an investigative laboratory setting;
11. communicate the results of laboratory investigations orally and in writing in a thorough and accurate manner;
12. interpret infrared, uv-visible, nmr and mass spectra of organic compounds and assign structures to the compounds; and plan and conduct multistep syntheses, including separation, purification and characterization.

Transfer Pattern Description:

This degree pattern is designed to help students transfer to colleges and universities that offer a baccalaureate degree with a major in Chemistry. Beyond the General Education requirements and options, this pattern should be considered in light of the requirements of the selected transfer institution. Students should consult with a transfer coordinator or an advisor for information about specific requirements.
