Chemical Sciences 4070, A.S.

A Two-Year Transfer Program Leading to A.S. Degree

A degree in chemical sciences is an excellent preparation for a career in chemistry, biochemistry, clinical laboratory, dentistry, environmental health science, food science, veterinary science, optometry and pharmacy. It is also a superb preparation for students who want to enter medical and veterinary schools. Chemical scientists are much in demand for research and teaching in universities and for research and development in chemical and pharmaceutical industries, medical laboratories, state and federal governments because the graduates acquire an outstanding range of skills in mathematical competence, problem-solving, data handling, analysis, observation, team working, communication and report writing that employers value greatly.
