They perform chores such as assisting instructors prepare materials for laboratory classes, assisting researchers collect and analyze scientific data, or gathering data for product quality control in industries. At Berkeley City College we offer a two-year (four-semester) chemistry program designed to provide individuals with the analytical skills needed for entry-level employment as laboratory technicians in those institutions. At the same time, the Analytical Chemistry program at BCC also prepares students for transfer to four year colleges or universities.\n\n**\n\n##### Career Opportunities\n\n**\n\nEntry level technician positions in state and federal laboratories, academic research laboratories, industrial, pharmaceutical and environmental health laboratories.\n\n**\n\n##### Learning Outcome(s)\n\n**\n\n1.  Demonstrate an understanding of and ability to follow protocols and use of standard and analytical equipment, materials, and techniques employed in general, organic and analytical chemistry laboratories.\n2.  Demonstrate the ability to perform basic calculations related to preparation of solutions and quantitative and qualitative analyses commonly used in experiments in chemistry, ability to collect and analyze experimental data accurately, ability to construct and interpret graphs, write reports and maintain detail and accurate laboratory manuals.\n3.  Demonstrate the ability to work individually or with a team on any assignments."
