Additional Information

Courses in bold type meet General Education requirements for Del Mar College Associate of Applied Science degrees.

CHEM 1411: Students may substitute this course with SCIT 1414 and CTEC 1205.

CHEM 1412: Students may substitute with SCIT 1415 and CTEC 1206.

The course substitution combinations are course options that may be taken instead of the 4-SCH chemistry courses; however, two semester credit hours from the substitution combination are above the 60-SCH total for associate degrees.
