Forensic Science, Chemistry Concentration, BS (2022-2023) (AS-T Chemistry)

The AS-T Chemistry guarantees completion of 60 transferable units and may use the IGETC for STEM (all lower division core GE satisfied except for one course in C and one course in D).

This transfer degree will meet the

CHEM 1A

CHEM 1B

CHEM 112A

CHEM 112B

CHEM 113A

(content credit only);

(in substitute of

for this major);

and

requirements at SJSU.
