Return to: Programs by Degree Types
The Associate of Science (Chemistry) is a two-year program for students who will transfer to the university to continue study leading to the bachelor’s degree in chemistry. Because of the fundamental role it plays in every aspect of the world around us, chemistry is often called the ‘Central Science’. A student majoring in chemistry has a deep commitment to understanding how our world exists and operates on a molecular level in accordance with the laws of nature. Chemistry is a very rigorous curriculum that involves physics and mathematics to help students understand the driving force of the chemical reaction. Chemistry students often gravitate to specific fields like organic, inorganic, physical, biochemistry, or materials chemistry.
