Chemistry

  • Overview

Provides a base of chemistry, physics, mathematics, and liberal arts courses to prepare a student for transfer to a Bachelor of Science (or Bachelor of Arts) program in Chemistry.

Please note that transfer to many four-year colleges and universities may require the completion of four sequential semesters of World Languages. Transfer specialists recommend using electives to start language requirements at the community college prior to transfer.

Curriculum Documents

To plan degree completion, see the course descriptions in the academic catalog which specify the planned semester(s) in which required classes are to be scheduled.

This is just one way you might complete the Chemistry program in 4 semesters over 2 years of full-time study, or 8 semesters over 4 years of part-time study. (Sample course sequences assume that all pre-requisites have been satisfied and the student is prepared for college-level work.) For a detailed list of required courses, optional electives and program information, download the Chemistry program description from our official academic catalog.

Program Learning Outcomes

Students completing a course of study in this program will be able to:
  • Quantitative Reasoning – Upon completion of an associate degree in Chemistry, students will be able to quantitatively analyze chemical models and theories, and apply this knowledge to solve new problems
  • Critical Thinking – Upon completion of an associate degree in Chemistry, students will be able to apply concepts in General and Organic Chemistry to solve new problems
  • Laboratory (Critical Thinking & Quantitative Reasoning) – Upon completion of an associate degree in Chemistry, students will be able to design experiments and conduct them using good laboratory practices, including record-keeping and safe handling of chemicals. Students will also be able to create graphs, analyze numerical and qualitative data, and interpret their qualitative and quantitative results by applying chemical models and theories
