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.
Food Science Option
Recommended elective: BI 223Z.
Fermentation Science Option
Students need 5 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.
