135 Chemistry Preparatory Programs

The Associate in Science in Chemistry for Transfer Degree (AS-T in Chemistry) introduces the concepts and principles upon which chemical knowledge is based, including chemical structures and nomenclature, stoichiometry and solving chemical equations, the thermodynamics of chemical reactions, and theories of chemical bonding. Students will develop skills for critical/analytical thinking, perceptive reading/observation, and interpretation. The Associate in Science in Chemistry to Transfer degree provides students with a core curriculum that will prepare them with the knowledge and skills required to earn a baccalaureate degree in 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. 

Analytical chemistry techniques and instrumentation are evolving rapidly. Stay ahead of the curve and advance your knowledge of the increasingly sophisticated analytical chemistry and instrumental techniques with our flexible, multidisciplinary, online course.

The Physical Science Degree is designed to give the student breadth in the physical sciences while providing considerable strength in one of the specialized physical science fields. The lower-division program is virtually the same as that taken in the first two years of college by a chemistry, physics, or geology major.

Learn about the structure, properties and reactivity of molecules. This fundamental knowledge plays an integral role in our understanding of the world. Diploma of Higher Education in Chemistry is a broad subject – including organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry and analytical chemistry.

Chemistry is the study of the properties, composition and chemical transformations of all material substances. It is often referred to as the central science since it draws from mathematics and physics and forms a necessary background to the understanding of earth science and all the biological disciplines, including the various medical professions. The Chemistry program at SJCC offers courses that satisfy general education requirements, allied-health science, engineers, chemistry, biology and physics majors.

The Chemistry major prepares students to transfer to four-year institutions for continued study in the field of chemistry.

The central purpose of the Diploma (Extended) in Analytical Chemistry is to develop graduates who can demonstrate focused knowledge and skills in Analytical Chemistry. The program, therefore, focuses centrally on equipping students with an in-depth and specialized knowledge of the general principles and practical skills applicable to the Analytical Chemistry industry.

You should consider a career in chemistry if you like science and math, working with your hands, performing laboratory experiments, or computer modeling. As a chemistry student at Edmonds College, you will have opportunities to gain hands-on experience, work as an intern in government and commercial labs, and make career and networking contacts.

Chemistry technicians perform very important roles in analytical laboratories in academic, research, and industrial institutions. They perform duties such as assisting instructors to prepare materials for laboratory classes, assisting researchers to 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) Analytical 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.

Chemistry is the study of the composition, behavior, structure, and properties of matter. The study of chemistry provides insights that are central to biology, geology, materials science, medicine, environmental science, and many branches of engineering. The Associate of Science (Track 1) degree is directly transferable to most Washington baccalaureate institutions (four-year colleges and universities). Students who transfer will be granted junior standing upon transfer.

This course offers an introduction to organic chemistry - the molecular 'language' that underpins biology, pharmacology, medicine, diagnostics, environmental and materials sciences. Students will gain insight into the chemical reactivity of carbon-based molecules by exploring structural and bonding models, chemical thermodynamics, and reaction kinetics.

Intrigued by science and the love for numbers? Are you interested in the science and study of space, change, structure and quality? Then why not continue your studies with semester courses at the University of Cape Town. By selecting one of our available science courses students will be equipped to formulate, discuss and explain the basic definitions of physical quantities, the principles and laws that are encountered in chemistry and the ability to derive equations, explain, interpret and evaluate elementary theoretical models. If you have a passion for science then join the Semester Study Abroad Programme today! Choose from a variety of bachelor and master’s courses, across a wide range of disciplines for international credit transfer.

This course is designed to introduce students to the key aspects of science (biology, chemistry and physics). It will equip students with vital knowledge and skills to enable them to flourish academically and personally.

This degree is intended to prepare students to transfer to Washington’s public four-year colleges and universities and many private colleges with junior standing and the majority of the prerequisites for selected science, mathematics, and engineering majors completed. This degree partially fulfills the general education requirements as explained in the Associate of Arts, Direct Transfer Agreement, AA-DTA degree. This degree does not guarantee admission into the major.
