Notes

*Credit students who are new to college (no successfully completed college coursework at other institutions) are required to take ACDV 101 in the first semester at CCBC. This is a 1-credit class, and it does not count towards the number of credits required for a degree or certificate. Students are required to provide an official transcript(s) to document successful completion of college coursework at another institution(s) for this requirement to be waived.

**In order to take CHEM 121 /CHEM 122 , students must have done one of the following:

Completed CHEM 107 and CHEM 108 with a grade of C or better, OR
Passed the Chemistry placement exam and completed or tested out of (ENGL 052 and RDNG 052) or ACLT 052, and MATH 083, OR
Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.

***In order to take PHYS 151 , students must have completed MATH 251 with a C or higher and done one of the following:

Completed high school Physics, OR
Completed PHYS 101 with a grade of C or better, OR
Received permission from the Physical Sciences department chair.

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.

Transfer Pattern Outcomes

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

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;
name and write formulas for inorganic and organic compounds;
predict outcomes of inorganic and organic reactions and write balanced chemical equations;
perform chemical calculations such as those involved in stoichiometry, thermodynamics, titrations, chemical kinetics, and chemical equilibrium;
utilize chemical terminology to explain, orally and in writing, the molecular perspective of inorganic and organic chemistry;
predict the stereochemistry and structure of the products and mechanisms involved, resulting from selected organic reagents;
use computers to gather and analyze data and/or to perform calculations;
use laboratory equipment, instruments and chemicals appropriately and safely in both the inorganic and organic laboratories;
use chemical data and scientific methods to solve problems involving chemical topics;
make and record observations and accurate measurements in an investigative laboratory setting;
communicate the results of laboratory investigations orally and in writing in a thorough and accurate manner;
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.
