2025-2026 Catalog with Addendum [ARCHIVED CATALOG]
Chemistry, AS
|
|
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 .

Note: - To earn the Chemistry, AS Degree, students must earn a minimum grade of “C” in all required mathematics and science courses.
- *If students choose Elementary Statistical Methods (MATH 1342 ) as their Major Courses: Mathematics/Science Elective, they may need to take a one-Semester Credit Hour (SCH) free elective course to meet the 60 total SCH requirement.
- **Enrollment in the first chemistry course (CHEM 1411 ) requires concurrent enrollment in College Algebra (MATH 1314 ), or credit for this course with a grade of “C” or better.
- ***The first mathematics course in which students enroll is based upon placement test scores or college mathematics courses previously completed.
