Chemistry

The Associate in Arts Degree in Chemistry prepares students for further study in chemistry or related physical and life science disciplines. It also provides a background in general chemistry that includes skills appropriate for entry-level employment in science-related industries or laboratories, such as environmental, pharmaceutical, or materials chemistry. Coursework includes instruction in molecular-level interpretations of the properties and reactions of inorganic and organic substances.

Program Learning Outcomes

1. Develop a working knowledge of inorganic and organic chemistry, including calculations, reactions, and nomenclature.
2. Develop an understanding of how chemistry is applied in other fields.
3. Improve problem-solving and critical thinking skills.
4. Actively engage in hands-on experiences in both the classroom and the laboratory.
5. Interpret experimental information, develop relationships, and correlate that experimental information with theory.
6. Write quality laboratory reports, with well-developed discussions and conclusions.
7. Develop laboratory skills, operate independently during many procedures, and learn to design experiments.
