Associate of Science
Transfer Program
Interest Areas:
- Science, Tech., Engr. and Math
Chemistry is a science that deals with the composition, structure, and properties of substances and their transformations. A solid math and science background is important preparation for a college chemistry program. Completion of the following courses results in an associate of science degree with an area of emphasis in Chemistry. The required coursework normally fulfills the first half of baccalaureate degree requirements in Chemistry. Course selection should be tailored to match requirements defined by intended transfer institutions.
