Program Description
This is a degree program that combines chemistry courses with additional course work in biology, mathematics, physics, and the liberal arts. The degree program prepares students primarily for advanced study at a four-year institution.
Candidates for the program should present two years of algebra, one year each of geometry, chemistry, physics, and trigonometry, as high school entrance credits. High school biology is also strongly recommended.
Consultation with the STEM Division is strongly advised.
Upon successful completion of all program requirements, graduates will be able to:
- Evaluate how chemical theories explain the natural world;
- Identify and analyze a chemical problem in terms of its significant components and the information needed to solve it;
- Correlate theory and practice in the chemical sciences;
- Perform laboratory experiments and measurements that include graphing and analyzing data;
- Research, assess and effectively communicate chemical information in written, verbal, and electronic formats.
