CHEMSCI, BS, Two-Year Plan

Transfer plan for the Bachelor of Science in Chemical Science

Sample Plan for New Students

This is a sample and not the only way to complete this plan. Number of credits are in parentheses. Some classes have prerequisites. The example assumes that you enter Seattle University with junior standing (90 credits), have earned a transferable associate degree, and have successfully completed an equivalent to the following: 

  • A full year of General Chemistry, Calculus, and Calculus-based Physics

If you have already taken a full year of Organic Chemistry, then your junior year will be devoted to completing Math and Physics requirements and you will need to take CHEM 3000 and CHEM 4985 in Fall quarter. CHEM 3510/11 and CHEM 3520/21 will replace Organic Chemistry in the Winter and Spring quarters.

Visit the Transfer Equivalency Guide for more information. Some courses not listed on the Transfer Equivalency Guide may still transfer to SU. For courses not found on this tool, compare course descriptions with SU’s Course Catalog to determine equivalent courses at your college/university.
