The Associate of Science in chemistry is designed so that students can complete the first two years of a college chemistry degree and then transfer smoothly to a four-year institution.

Our program provides small class sizes, individual attention, and a friendly atmosphere. The labs utilize modern instrumentation comparable to that found in university classrooms.

Marketable skills for this award include: analytical/quantitative skills, critical thinking, mathematics, problem solving, research, team work, technical skills and written communication skills.

Chemical engineering majors should refer to the TJC Associate of Science degree plan for Engineering, but substitute CHEM 2423  and CHEM 2425  for ENGR 2301  and ENGR 2302 .
