Transfer Guide: MCC Liberal Arts Transfer – Associate of Science (LATAS) to UNO Bachelor of Science in Chemistry (Calculus Ready) (2024)
This degree strengthens foundation skills, provides broad understanding, and develops reasoning skills as students prepare for advanced studies in a Science, Technology, Engineering, or Mathematics (STEM) program. Students completing this degree can transfer their credits into a bachelor’s degree program at a four-year institution.
Every effort has been made to provide accurate information on suggested courses; however, it is the student’s responsibility to consult with the institution they are planning to transfer to ensure courses fit into their intended plan of study. For students planning to transfer to UNO – College of Arts and Sciences, the below information can also be found at the following sites:

This pathway assumes the student does not require the completion of CHEM 1010.
Students admitted to UNO with an Associate of Arts (AA) or Associate of Science (AS) degree from a regionally accredited institution will have fulfilled UNO’s lower-division general education requirements. (This means all UNO general education requirements except Writing in the Discipline).

Additional Information for Students:
Per UNO’s Catalog and University Transfer Credit Policy, sixty-four (64) semester credit hours is the maximum allowed to transfer to most undergraduate UNO colleges from regionally accredited two-year college; however, UNO’s College of Arts and Sciences Policy overrides this and allows STEM majors in Arts & Sciences (including Biology) to transfer sixty-seven (67) semester hours from accredited two-year colleges.
To maximize credit transfer, students are strictly encouraged to follow this Guided Pathway. When followed correctly, students will have approximately (54) Credit/Semester Hours remaining to complete for the Bachelor of Science in Chemistry.
