Bioengineering & Chemical Pre-Engineering (Transfer)
Chemical engineers are in the forefront of efforts to make Planet Earth a cleaner and healthier place to live, from finding better ways to clean up toxic spills to developing sustainable biofuels. Chemical engineers are in great demand in many industries including: pharmaceuticals, food, chemicals, energy, and all sorts of manufacturing. State environmental health and safety agencies also employ many chemical engineers.
Bioengineering is one of the fastest-growing disciplines. Bioengineers are focused on advancing human health and promoting environmental sustainability. Bioengineers apply quantitative solutions to solve diverse multidisciplinary problems.

BioEngineering & Chemical Pre-Engineering (AST2)
The following is a degree program designed by a consortium of two-year and four-year colleges in Washington. Students should be aware that baccalaureate institutions may have slightly different requirements for these degrees, and students should consult the transfer institution for exact questions.
Students should complete the entirety of any science sequence at the same school for best transferability. These degrees are not DTA degrees, and there are some general education requirements that students will need to finish upon transfer.
Though this degree does not require such, Clark College students should know that the standard Clark AST degree path has this difference from the Articulated Degree defined below:
Students must also meet the residency requirements as established by Clark. While Clark College has approved offering the degree below, Clark students should keep these requirements in mind should their transfer pathways change.
Students completing this Associate of Science will receive the same priority consideration for admission to the baccalaureate institution as they would for completing the direct transfer associate degree and will be given junior status by the receiving institution.
It is critical that you work with an Engineering faculty advisor to ensure your program will give you the maximum benefit when you transfer.
