This curriculum provides the first two years of a typical four-year curriculum leading to a baccalaureate degree in a science- or mathematics-related field. Four tracks are available in the curriculum: chemistry and biochemistry, life science, mathematics, and physics. Within each track, completion of all requirements for this curriculum will lead to the award of the A.S. in science.

The curriculum is designed to provide academic flexibility in order to meet requirements of various transfer institutions. To identify appropriate courses for transfer, students should consult with the transfer institutions, use ARTSYS (transfer information maintained by the University of Maryland System for Maryland community college students at http://artweb.usmd.edu), and seek assistance from a counselor or adviser.

Chemistry and Biochemistry
Science A.S.

The chemistry and biochemistry track is a transfer program that provides the first two years of courses necessary for a four-year baccalaureate degree in chemistry or biochemistry.

Life Science
Science A.S.

The life science track is a transfer program that provides the first two years of courses necessary for a four-year baccalaureate degree in one of the life sciences. Working closely with a counselor or adviser, students will be able to tailor their program of study to fit the needs of most if not all colleges and universities offering a degree in biology or the biological sciences. Also, students planning to transfer to a four-year institution prior to attending medical, dental, veterinary, physical therapy, podiatry, or chiropractic school will find all or most of the necessary prerequisite courses needed by these professional schools for admission. Finally, students planning to transfer to pharmacy, medical technology, or optometry school programs that accept students after two years of undergraduate education will find all the courses needed for admission into these programs.

Students are strongly advised to work closely with a biology or chemistry faculty member or an academic transfer counselor in order to select courses that will prevent or minimize the loss of credits upon transfer.

Mathematics
Science A.S.

The mathematics track is a transfer program that provides the first two years of courses necessary for a four-year baccalaureate degree in mathematics.

Physics
Science A.S.

The physics track is a transfer program that provides the first two years of courses necessary for a four-year baccalaureate degree in physics.
