Liberal Arts Math and Science AS

Mathematics-Science

SUNY Adirondack has always been proud of its strong transfer programs in Mathematics and Science. University-parallel programs are available in Biology, Chemistry, Geology, (Earth Science), Mathematics, and Physics, as well as the preparatory courses required for students interested in pursuing careers in Secondary Education and in Dentistry, Nursing, Medicine, and Veterinary Medicine. Necessary course work for transfer to any programs offered by SUNY's College of Environmental Science and Forestry is also available (see Associate Degree Programs, Pre-Environmental Science and Forestry). Recommended high school preparation: Biology, chemistry, physics and four years of math.

Emphases:
The emphases listed below are suggested for students who want to transfer to a four-year program in these areas. They are NOT majors in which a two-year degree may be earned; the two-year degree major is Liberal Arts and Science - Mathematics and Science, A.S. Students should consult the catalog of their transfer institution as early as possible to determine additional requirements. If the transfer institution has a foreign language requirement, is it recommended that students try to fulfill it before transfer.

BIOLOGY: First year - BIO 111-112; CHM 111-112; MAT 131-132. Second year - BIO 205, 212; CHM 203-204; PHY 111-112. Students interested in majors within medical or related fields should consider substituting one of the following for BIO 205; BIO 107, 108, 113, 114, 213.

CHEMISTRY: First year - CHM 111-112; MAT 131-132; EGR 105-106. (For some transfer programs, PHY 111 - 112 may be more appropriate.) Second year - CHM 202, 203, 204; MAT 231-232.

GEOLOGY & EARTH SCIENCE: GEO 101, 114, 202; AST 113; One of the following two-course sequences - CHM 111-112, PHY 111-112, EGR 105-106; MAT 123, 131-132; CIS 143

MATHEMATICS: MAT 124, 127, 129, 131, 132, 220, 223, 227, 231, 232; CIS 143, 144.
