A.S. Degree

Natural Sciences Division

www.elcamino.edu/academics/naturalsciences The program is designed to provide students the opportunity to obtain a degree upon successful completion of the requirements of a chemistry transfer major. The student will acquire the ability to apply fundamental theories and principles of atomic and molecular structure and to understand energy concepts and kinetics in both inorganic and organic reactions. Laboratories are designed to complement the lecture material providing the student with a foundation in quantitative and qualitative chemical techniques. Competencies will be assessed regularly by examining student abilities to predict chemical reactions, explain observed properties and behaviors, write reaction mechanisms, and perform standard laboratory procedures.

Preparation for the Transfer Major

For information on specific university major requirements, please obtain a transfer curriculum guide sheet in the Counseling Services Center, consult with your counselor, or visit the Transfer Center. You may use the transfer major requirements to help you fulfill your associate degree requirements.
