Requirements for Bachelors of Arts Chemistry Transfer from SJC


The left side of the table below are the course requirements from San Juan Community College with a AS in Chemistry that will transfer and meet the corresponding requirements of New Mexico Highlands University when completing your Associates of Arts in Chemistry at SJC.  The lower section of the table are the remaining requirements that are needed to be taken in order to complete your Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry at Highlands University.  This table reflects the Articulation Agreement between the two schools and is an advisement guide.  The BA in Chemistry degree must be completed at the Highlands University Main Campus, since there are no chemistry classes taught at the Farmington Center.
