Notes
* Total of 12 hours math is recommended. This may include calculus, statistics, MTH 111C, MTH 112 or other math courses.
** Applicants must be certified in First Aid and CPR. Course can be taken at a community college.
Organic Chemistry- These courses (only as a complete sequence and with C or better in all courses) may be used to fulfill the organic chemistry requirement at OSU.The CC organic chemistry courses are transferred as lower division (LD) credit because the courses are officially 200-level at the community college.If a student takes a complete year of organic chemistry with laboratory each term at an Oregon Community College (CH 241, 242, 243) and transfers to OSU, the student normally receives lower credit. The course work may appear on the transcript as various combinations of CH 331, CH 332, CH 337, and unspecified LDT credit (lower division transfer). In accordance with an OUS (formally OSSHE) memo (August 1, 1995), a student can receive upper division credit (300 level) if they pass the ACS organic exam.
Additional Requirements
If you intend to earn a bachelor's degree at OSU, you must meet OSU's Baccalaureate Core Requirements. For PCC courses that transfer to OSU, refer to the Transfer Equivalencies above. If you plan to get an AAOT degree, all OSU Baccalaureate Core Requirements will be met by AAOT degree requirements. Be sure to take all other required courses.
PCC endeavors to create accurate transfer guides for students; however, requirements may change without notice. Students are responsible for working with PCC advisors and their transfer institution to ensure that their academic plan will meet requirements and timelines.
