Chemistry

Program Description: The Associate of Science degree in Chemistry is intended to match, within the constraints of the Core Curriculum, the course of study for the first two years of a typical science program at a four-year college or university. It also provides the flexibility for students desiring only an associate degree to specialize the program to individual interests.

Use this Program MAP as an advising guide to choose courses with your advisor and track progress toward milestones and completion of degree program. The map provides students a suggested course sequence to timely program completion.
