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.

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.
