Transfer Track/Chemistry (CHEM-AA)

AREA OF CONCENTRATION: This transfer track is designed to prepare students for upper division studies as chemistry majors. All state public universities and most private universities offer the bachelor’s degree in chemistry. Several of the institutions offer B.S./A.C.S. degrees, indicating endorsement of the program by the American Chemical Society. Most colleges of arts and sciences require an intermediate level of proficiency in a foreign language beyond that required for admissions to the university. To enhance students’ chemistry education, the chemistry department at Gulf Coast State College offers hands‐on instruction in the use of a wide range of instruments, such as gas chromatography (GC) and infra‐red spectroscopy (FTIR). Several different levels of computer usage for chemistry are available for student use. It is strongly recommended that students be familiar with the admissions requirements of the university they plan to attend. In addition to the courses below, most universities require Calculus III and highly recommend Differential Equations.
