Equivalency Details

The information presented is an unofficial guide to how courses may transfer. Other factors to consider are grades received in the courses, the year in which the course was taken, and the major pursued after transfer. In all instances, final decisions about acceptance of course credit will be made by Westmoreland County Community College.

If you complete the following with AP - Advanced Placement:

  • This course is designed to be the equivalent of the general chemistry course usually taken during the first college year. For some students, this course enables them to undertake, as freshmen, second-year work in the chemistry sequence at their institution or to register for courses in other fields where general chemistry is a prerequisite. For other students, the AP Chemistry course fulfills the laboratory science requirement and frees time for other courses.

You may receive up to 4.00 credits at Westmoreland County Community College:

  • CHM 155 is the first semester of a two-semester general chemistry course that introduces the student to the study of chemistry, focusing on the relationship between the microscopic structure of matter and the chemical and physical properties of matter, including applications to the real world. CHM 155 studies the concepts of atomic structure, chemical periodicity, bonding, naming of molecules and ionic compounds and principles of chemical reactivity. Measurements and problem solving, stoichiometry, solution chemistry, gas laws, thermodynamics and quantum chemistry are presented using a quantitative approach. Conceptual understanding of gases, the structure of solids and liquids and chemical periodicity are also studied. Prerequisite(s): High school chemistry or CHM 107, MTH 052 or 052A
