The purpose of the AS-T degree is to allow the student who plans to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry the opportunity to make substantial progress toward fulfilling major requirements while completing at least half of the liberal arts, or general requirements. Completing the AS-T degree will prepare students for upper division study; it does not guarantee students admission to the major. The college recommends that the student identify one or two potential transfer schools and then contact qualified program advisors at those institutions as early as possible to obtain specific, course-by-course advice

Which Quarter can I begin?

The 2-year pathway starts Fall quarter. While courses may be started any quarter, this will extend time to degree completion

Program Modality

This program can be completed on campus or hybrid. Courses are offered on-campus, online, or hybrid (part on-campus, part online).

Length of Program

90 Credits = 6 Quarters* if you take 15 credits each quarter.

*Your specific route may take longer than 6 quarters depending on the number of credits you take each quarter and where you start in your math and English pathways.

Career Outlook

There are a wide variety of career opportunities including premedical, pre-dental, pre-veterinary, pre-PT, pre-pharmacology, forensic scientists, lab techs, environmental scientist, engineer, agriculture, and education.

Future Education Opportunities

Successful completion of the AS-Track 1 degree prepares students for a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry with specializations in Inorganic, Analytical, Environmental, Instrumental, Organic, Biochemistry, or Materials Science. It also prepares students for the continuation of preparation for professional programs such as pre-medicine, pre-dental, pre-veterinarian, prepharmacy, physical therapy.
