2022-2023 Math and Science (ASMSAS)

Description

This program prepares students to transfer to a four-year college or university to complete a bachelor's degree in actuarial science, biology, chemistry, math, or pharmacy. The program will give students a solid foundation in math and science. Students should obtain program requirements and transfer equivalencies from the college to which they are transferring. Complete the requirements for one of the following concentrations. These concentrations may also list courses used to meet General Education requirements. Biology/Pre-Medicine (BMED) CEM 111 General Chemistry I CEM 122 General Chemistry II CEM 211 Organic Chemistry I CEM 222 Organic Chemistry II Elective: BIO 111, BIO 208, BIO 215, BIO 227 or BIO 237 Chemistry/Pre-Medicine (CMED) CEM 111 General Chemistry I CEM 122 General Chemistry II CEM 211 Organic Chemistry I CEM 222 Organic Chemistry II MTH 197 Linear Algebra Mathematics (MATH) MTH 160 Basic Statistics MTH 191 Calculus I MTH 192 Calculus II MTH 197 Linear Algebra MTH 293 Calculus III MTH 295 Differential Equations Pre-Actuarial Science (PPAS) ECO 211 Principles of Economics I ECO 222 Principles of Economics II MTH 191 Calculus I MTH 192 Calculus II MTH 197 Linear Algebra MTH 293 Calculus III Pre-Pharmacy (PPHA) Two Restricted Electives in Biology (see below) CEM 211 Organic Chemistry I CEM 222 Organic Chemistry II PHY 111 General Physics I PHY 122 General Physics II Biology Restricted Electives for Pre-Pharmacy (PPHA): BIO 111, BIO 161, BIO 162, BIO 208, BIO 237, BIO 215 or BIO 227 Optional Transfer Courses for Pre-Pharmacy (PPHA): MTH 160, MTH 192, along with other Biology restricted electives. See a program advisor to select appropriate Biology courses.

Articulation

This program will fulfill the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA) requirements provided the student takes two science courses from two different disciplines. One course must have a lab component. Students must have MTA posted on their transcripts by the WCC Student Records Office.

Admissions Requirements

- Students must have an Academic Math Level of 7 to begin the math sequence. Two years of high school algebra and one year of high school pre-calculus are recommended to prepare for this program. - The biology and chemistry concentrations require one year of high school chemistry or CEM 101 with a "C" or better to enroll in CEM 111.
