 Return to: Academic Programs
Chemistry, an option of the Associate of Science degree program in Science and Mathematics, prepares students for transfer into traditional bachelor’s degree programs in chemistry, as well as a variety of specialized programs at fouryear colleges and universities. Chemistry graduates are employed in academic, industrial and clinical laboratories and in such fields as environmental science, chemical engineering and chemical sales.
The chemistry laboratories are fully equipped with modern equipment, including such instrumentation as pH meters, electronic balances, spectrophotometers and gas chromatographs. Computers are used in data acquisition and analysis.
Graduates are able to:
- exhibit an understanding of the scientific method
- use the theories and concepts of modern chemistry to analyze and solve chemical problems
- utilize information from chemical literature, both in libraries and in online interactive databases
- communicate the results of their analyses, laboratory investigations and literature searches in an appropriate professional writing style
- understand both the historical perspective of chemistry and its relationship to the modern world and apply that understanding to the ethical, social and political (as well as scientific) role of chemistry and chemists in the community
