Chemistry, BA, Two-Year Plan
Transfer plan for the Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry
Sample Plan for New Students
The example below assumes that you enter Seattle University with junior standing (90 credits), have earned a transferable associate degree, and have successfully completed the following:
- A transferable associate degree
- Students with Associate of Science–Transfer (AS-T) degrees or who lack an associate degree may require one or more additional Core courses depending on courses transferred; see Core Curriculum chart.
- A full year of General Chemistry, Calculus, and Calculus-based Physics
- If you have already taken a full year of Organic Chemistry, your junior year will be devoted to completing Math and Physics requirements, and you will take CHEM 3000 and CHEM 4985 in Fall quarter. CHEM 3510/11 and CHEM 3520/21 will replace Organic Chemistry in Winter and Spring quarters.
Visit the Transfer Equivalency Guide on the Transfer Tools page for more information on how your credits may transfer to SU. Courses from your college/university that are not in the Guide may have equivalencies in SU’s course catalog. All courses on your incoming transcript will be evaluated for equivalencies after admission to SU.
This is a sample and not the only way to complete this plan. *Some classes have prerequisites.
Important Major Information
- Minimum Credits to Graduate: 180
- Credits in Major: 80
