Transfer to the Chemistry Program

If you plan ahead, transferring to WSU’s Chemistry program from a community or technical college will be a smooth process. 

Keep these things in mind while planning for your transfer to a WSU chemistry program:

• To earn a chemistry degree at WSU, you must take chemistry courses during every year of your undergraduate education
• Finishing in 2 additional years is possible if you’ve completed the recommended chemistry courses before transferring
• Ideally, a transfer student will have 2 years’ worth of chemistry classes completed before transferring (1 year of general chemistry and 1 year of organic chemistry). It is still possible to graduate in 2 years if only 1 year of chemistry has been completed, but the final 2 years may be more challenging.
