Total Credit Hours: 90
Note: The CH 221, CH 222, CH 223 sequence will meet the CH 231 (261), 232 (262), and 233 (263) requirement at OSU. The CH 241, CH 242, CH 243 sequence will meet either the CH 331, 332, and 337 requirement or the CH 334, 335, 336, and 361 requirement at OSU, depending on the student's grades in the courses, but will transfer in as lower division. Students who have passed the entire organic chemistry sequence at LBCC with a grade of “C” or better may receive upper division (300 level) credit at OSU with an acceptable score on the ACS national exam.
For further details, see OSU's transfer policy at: https://chemistry.oregonstate.edu/undergraduate/transfer-students/organic-chemistry-transfer-policies. To aid in transferability, if a student begins the Organic Chemistry sequence at LBCC, the sequence should be completed at LBCC.
Food Science Option
Recommended electives: BI 223 and AREC 221. It is recommended that students seek admission to the LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Program and take the remaining credits through the Food Science and Technology Department at OSU.
Fermentation Science Option
Students need 8 credits of approved electives (see advisor) to meet the 90-credit requirement for the AS degree. It is recommended that students seek admission to the LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Program and take all elective credits through the Food Science and Technology Department at OSU.
Enology and Viticulture Option
Recommended elective: CSS 205. It is recommended that students seek admission to the LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Program and take the remaining credits through the Food Science and Technology Department at OSU. NUTR is not required for the Enology and Viticulture option.
