Total Credit Hours: 90
The CH 221, CH 222, CH 223 sequence will meet the CH 231 (261), 232 (262), and 233 (263) requirement at OSU. The CH 241, CH 242, CH 243 sequence will meet the CH 331, 332, and CH 337 or the CH 334, 335, 336, and CH 361 requirement at OSU, but will transfer in as lower division. Students who have passed the entire organic chemistry sequence at LBCC with a grade of “C” or better may receive upper division (300 level) credit at OSU with an acceptable score on the ACS national exam. For further details, http://chemistry.oregonstate.edu/content/organic-chemistry-transfer-policies
To aid in transferability, if a student begins the Organic Chemistry sequence at LBCC, the student should complete the sequence at LBCC.
The following course substitutions are recommended for students pursuing the various options associated with the OSU degree in Food Science and Technology:
Enology and Viticulture Option
FST 251: Introduction to Wines, Beers and Spirits (OSU) or HORT 251: Temperate Tree Fruit, Berries, Grapes and Nuts (OSU) in place of PH 202 General Physics.
Students will need 3–4 credits of approved electives (see advisor) to meet the 90-credit requirement for the AS degree. It is recommended that students seek admission to the LBCC/OSU Degree Partnership Program and take some or all of these elective credits through the Food Science and Technology Department at OSU.
Students may take PH 211 and PH 212 in place of PH 201 and PH 202.
