The course sequence below is considered an ideal and recommended route for completion of an AA in Liberal Arts with a Chemistry focus at
CWI. The electives are recommended because they are thought to best support the study of Liberal Arts with a Chemistry focus, but they are
not required or mandated. Be sure to work with an advisor throughout your pursuit of all degrees at CWI.

Additional Advising Comments for Liberal Arts with a Chemistry Focus Majors
Recommended Electives (see the catalog for other options):
* The courses in the progression grid with an asterisk (*) are recommended by the Physical Science department to help provide
a balanced education at CWI and fulfill general education requirements. There are other courses that may be taken to satisfy
the general education requirements at CWI and it is recommended that you refer to the catalog of courses if you would prefer to
take a different course than those suggested.
Please be sure to check the courses required for your final degree at the four-year institution you plan to attend after finishing at
CWI. It is absolutely imperative that you know which classes are required to obtain a bachelor’s degree at that institution.
If you plan to attend the University of Idaho, you can visit their website (http://www.uiweb.uidaho.edu/transferguides/transferframes.html) to determine how the various courses taken at CWI will transfer. Our chemistry courses in this degree progression
grid all transfer to their institution.
If you plan to attend Boise State University (BSU), you can visit their website (http://registrar.boisestate.edu/transfers/transfer-equivalency/) to determine just how the various courses you take will transfer. Chem 253 will transfer as a chemistry general
elective. The others on the list transfer well. The Organic Chemistry courses offered at BSU are 300-level courses, so it is recommended that you discuss how they transfer with an advisor at BSU.
Footnotes:
1 It is possible to get vertical credit for ENGL 101 if the student successfully passes ENGL 102 and pays for the credits for ENGL
101. Fill out the vertical credit form (found here: https://cwidaho.cc/file/vertical-credit-form) and return to a One Stop Student
Services location.
2 Two HACT activities courses may be taken instead of HLTH 155 - Health and Wellness, but HLTH 155 is strongly recommended
in order to meet the Ethical Reasoning requirement.
**This course fulfills the Ethical Reasoning requirement for an Associate degree from CWI.
PLEASE NOTE: This degree plan is to help students plan coursework with a focus on chemistry. Upon
graduation, your degree will be in Liberal Arts and will NOT have a chemistry focus officially denoted on
your transcript and/or degree.
• To ensure efficient degree planning, students who intend to transfer to a four-year institution should review the
lower-division degree requirements of the institution they plan to attend. •
