Arts and Sciences Option in Chemistry
A.S. Degree

The chemistry option is for students planning to transfer to a four-year degree program with a major in chemistry or related fields. The program provides all the basic science, mathematics and general education courses that are required during the first two years of most four-year chemistry programs. Chemistry is also important in other disciplines such as communications and computers, biotechnology, environmental science, energy resources, molecular biology, medicine and forensics. Students should work with an academic transfer advisor when selecting courses and be aware that the program requirements are rigorous.
