Chemistry emphasis, Associate of Science
https://www.linnbenton.edu/future-students/explore-lb/programs/chemistry.php
Students who successfully complete all Chemistry emphasis, Associate of Science degree requirements will be able to:
- Describe and explain chemical and physical phenomena using scientific terminology, concepts, methods, and equipment.
- Communicate scientific ideas in oral, written, graphical, and pictorial form.
- Apply scientific principles using the appropriate problem solving techniques.
- Read, interpret, and safely perform laboratory procedures, both individually and as a team member, using the appropriate techniques and instrumentation.
- Collect and analyze laboratory data, arrive at reasonable conclusions, and write comprehensive laboratory reports.
- Relate scientific knowledge to societal issues.
Program Course Requirements
See the graduation requirements for the Associate of Science degree. For information on the advised sequence of program courses, see the Chemistry emphasis, Associate of Science Program Map.
General Education Courses
EC 201Z, PSY 202Z, WR 227Z: Three credits apply toward general education requirements; one credit applies toward program.
CH 221Z and CH 227Z, PH 201 and PH 211: Four credits apply toward general education requirements; one credit applies toward program.
Program Courses
PH 201-PH 203 is for the Biology and Social Science Tracks. PH 211-PH 213 is for the Advanced Chemistry/Biochemistry and Engineering Tracks.
Approved Electives
These courses may be taken to meet specific program requirements at OSU. Students should work with an advisor as soon as possible to select courses that fit their goals.
Advanced Chemistry/Biochemistry Track
MTH 256 is for Advanced Chemistry only.
BI 221Z is for Advanced Biochemistry only.
Biology Track
Engineering Track
Social Science Track
Total Credit Hours: 90-91
To aid in transferability, if a student begins the Organic Chemistry sequence at LBCC, the sequence should be completed at LBCC. An ACS national exam is given at the end of CH 243. A student will meet the requirement for organic chemistry upper division credit at OSU with a passing score on the ACS exam. For further details, see OSU's transfer policy: https://chemistry.oregonstate.edu/undergraduate/transfer-students/organic-chemistry-transfer-policies.
Depending on the situation, only as a complete sequence and with a C or better in all courses may be used to fulfill the organic chemistry requirement of many majors, other programs, or the chemistry minor at OSU. Each department or program makes the decision about how the transfer courses are counted toward their graduation requirement.
