Chemistry - Associate of Science

The Associate of Science in Chemistry Program is designed for students who plan to transfer to a four-year institution to pursue a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry or a related field. The degree requirements give students flexibility in course selection, allowing them to study areas of interest within the discipline. The required courses cover foundational physical science topics including General Chemistry and General Physics, while the electives feature more advanced options such as Environmental Chemistry and Intro to Quantitative Analysis. Class time is balanced between direct instruction and hands-on laboratory work. While most graduates pursue advanced studies, this degree can qualify job seekers for entry-level positions like lab technician and research assistant. Students who intend to transfer should contact their faculty advisor and the institution they will be attending to make sure they are taking the appropriate courses.
