### Summary

The Associate of Science degree with an area of emphasis in Chemistry Studies is intended for students who plan to complete a bachelor’s degree at a transfer institution in a chemistry-related major. This degree is designed to accommodate the differing requirements of a wide variety of transfer institutions and major options. Because admission and major preparation requirements vary at each transfer institution, courses used to complete this degree should be selected with the assistance of a Miramar College counselor.

**Award Note:**
The Associate Degree requires a minimum of 60 degree applicable semester units.

**Learning Outcome(s): Students who complete the Chemistry Studies Program will be able to:**

1.  Be proficient in the nomenclature, reactions, calculations, concepts, and theories common to first- and second-year general and organic chemistry courses at a level that is competitive with other students upon transfer to a 4-year college/university or entrance to a professional school.
2.  Successfully perform and communicate information related to experiments involving chemical equipment, measurement, and data collection.
