About Chemistry
During experiences in a laboratory setting, students will practice the scientific method to explore chemical phenomena, solve problems in a strategic manner, and formulate and communicate an understanding of matter from a chemist’s perspective.
Grappling with the difficult global problems such as the treatment of disease, environmental pollution, and climate change all require an understanding of chemistry. Through the Chemistry program, you will develop a view of the world around you that is shaped by your understanding of chemical principles. Upon obtaining the Certificate of Achievement in chemistry, you will be prepared to transfer to a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry program at a four-year college and take upper-division chemistry coursework, enter the chemistry workforce, or pursue opportunities where chemistry plays a role.
