It is a Tennessee Transfer Pathways (TTP), which enables you to complete your degree at Motlow and then transfer to any Tennessee public university, and several Tennessee private universities, to complete your bachelor’s degree.
Motlow’s concentration in Chemistry qualifies you for transfer to any of Tennessee’s TTP university programs. Our A.S. degree will improve your communication, writing, research, and critical-thinking skills. Chemistry students often move to specific fields like organic, inorganic, physical, biochemistry or materials chemistry.
