Overview
Chemistry AS-T (LRST1AS AST1-CHEM) Active: W 2023
The Associate in Science - Transfer (AS-T) degree is designed for students majoring in sciences, computer science and engineering who wish to transfer to a Washington college or university.
- This is the AS-T in Biological, Environ/Resource, Chemistry, Geology and Earth Sciences Track 1, Chemistry Concentration.
Students earning this degree will normally transfer with junior standing and about half of the lower division general education requirements of the baccalaureate colleges and universities. Remaining general education courses may be taken after transfer and prior to completion of a baccalaureate degree. This degree enables students to concentrate on fulfilling pre-major coursework in their intended field of study.
Requirements
- Though courses in a foreign language are not required in the Associate of Science degree, some universities may require two or three quarters of foreign language for admission or for graduation.
- Completion of required and recommended courses will result in more than 90 units being earned for the degree. The advantage is that the completion of these courses will enable you to progress more efficiently in your major at a university. Alternatively, some of the more advanced courses may be done at the university instead.
- Prerequisites will require extra units, and all will require a minimum grade of 2.0 (C) or higher.
- Students who initially place in a high-level math course do not need to take math courses below that level.
- Science sequences (ex PHYS& 114-116) should not be broken up between institutions.
Potential Prerequisites
- Prior to starting some of the following courses, students will need to complete ENGL 98 or place into or have taken ENGL& 101.
- Prior to starting some of the following courses, students will need to complete the Math prerequisite sequence (MATH 76, MATH 86, MATH 96, MATH& 141, MATH& 142) or place into or have taken MATH& 151 or higher.
- Prior to CHEM& 161, complete CHEM& 140 or place into CHEM& 161 or higher.
- BIOL& 221 may be taken after or concurrently with CHEM& 161. High school biology or BIOL& 100 is also required.
- BIOL& 222 and 223 must be taken after CHEM& 161.
- CHEM& 261, 262, 263 are offered in a sequence of Fall, Winter, Spring only; students must start in the Fall.

Diversity Course Requirement
Diversity courses focus on perspectives related to cultural diversity in our society, which is defined as including human differences in culture, race, ethnicity, age, sex, sexuality, gender, ability, class, socioeconomic status, language, and religion. Courses are listed in the Class Schedule with a Diversity Class Attribute. They are typically found in the areas of Communications, Humanities, Social Sciences and Transfer Electives. A Diversity course may count toward one of the Distributions listed above, as well as meeting the Diversity Course requirement. Please consult with your advisor.
Completing one diversity class with a grade of D or better is an EvCC institutional requirement and must be completed to receive any degree from Everett Community College.
Required Course
Any course from the Diversity course list
EvCC Residency Units Requirement
To be eligible to earn a diploma at EvCC for any certificate, at least one-third of the units must be earned at Everett Community College and apply towards the credential being earned. These units must be traditionally graded and calculated in the EvCC GPA.
Required Residency Units: 31 minimum
Additional Graduation Requirements
In addition to the applicable Diversity and Residency Units requirements, EvCC has other graduation requirements for all certificates and degrees, including which version of credential requirements should be met, a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0, fulfillment of all obligations to the college (financial or otherwise), and filing of an application for graduation.

Outcomes
Program Learning Outcomes
- Apply quantitative analysis to solve problems: students will utilize quantitative and graphical analyses to describe biological processes and solve problems posed in assignments.
- Apply the Scientific Method: in reports and presentations, students will demonstrate the application of the scientific method to explain biological processes encountered in classroom, laboratory, and field projects.
- Critically evaluate the science-related content in reports, popular media, and public policy: students will read assigned articles, books, and online resources, and evaluate these sources in the context of the life sciences topics presented in class.
- Effectively communicate scientific processes: students will use the results obtained from experiments, demonstrations, discussions, and field work to produce written reports and oral presentations.
