UCHM
This program may be completed at the Knight (Warwick) Campus.
This program constitutes a JAA transfer program to URI. Students completing a JAA plan receive an Associate's degree and enter the receiving institution with 60 credits and Junior status. Students must complete all requirements as given. Depending on GPA, students receive a tuition discount of up to 30% at the receiving institution, a waived application fee, and personalized advising.
Chemistry is the central science and plays a crucial role in various scientific fields. Students who complete this chemistry transfer program will acquire a solid foundation in both general and organic chemistry, equipping them for advanced undergraduate chemistry studies. Through hands-on laboratory experiences, students will master fundamental techniques, utilize modern instrumentation, and cultivate safe laboratory practices.
Program Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this program, a student will be able to:
- Create written work that develops and expresses ideas and that addresses a given context and target audience.
- Communicate effectively via oral presentations, performances, participation in group work, and visual presentations.
- Identify, analyze, and apply evidence and ideas, question assumptions, and draw logical conclusions.
- Develop information literacy by locating, evaluating, synthesizing, and using information to accomplish a specific purpose.
- Demonstrate an understanding of and apply scientific or quantitative principles, theories, and methods.
- Apply quantitative principles to solve problems and support arguments with quantitative evidence in a variety of formats (e.g. words, tables, graphs, equations, etc.).
- Demonstrate an understanding of global, cultural and historical perspectives.
- Function effectively in social and professional environments and make reasoned decisions based on ethical standards, self-awareness, and personal responsibility.

Transfer
This program at CCRI is a part of the Joint Admissions Agreement (JAA). JAA helps students transfer seamlessly to Rhode Island College (RIC) or the University of Rhode Island (URI). Students who are eligible for the JAA program have earned less than 30 college credits at the time of joining and have not attended any other college or university.
JAA graduates are guaranteed admissions to either RIC or URI, have personalized advising by a caseload advisor, enter with Junior status at RIC or URI, and are eligible for a tuition discount up to 30% based on GPA.
Please meet with an Academic Advisor/Student Success Coach to help you select the courses that best prepare you for transfer to RIC or URI. For more information, please visit Joint Admissions Agreement or the Transfer Center.
