AA/AS in Chemistry

The chemistry program explains what matter consists of and how it changes, using laboratory sessions, problem solving and applied examples. Students study atoms, reactions and energy. It serves those headed to further chemistry study as well as people seeking entry-level roles in science, industry or government. Careers noted include positions that follow an AS-T or UC transfer pathway. Because it is a transfer degree, it points toward upper-division study in the CSU campus system, and students are encouraged to build an education plan with a counselor or transfer specialist. The subject belongs to the college's STEM pathway, where advisors help students map out courses that fit their academic and career plans. Links on the program page lead to application steps, class schedules and financial aid. Students unsure where to begin can request guidance from the college's counseling or career and technical education advisors.
