AA/AS in Chemistry

Chemistry at Crafton Hills College presents the science that connects the other sciences, for students curious about experiments and about how matter and energy interact. An associate of science and a transfer option are both offered. Students learn laboratory and mathematical methods for gathering and verifying knowledge, develop critical thinking, and practice interpreting and explaining scientific problems. They are encouraged to collect information efficiently and reach reliable conclusions through logical reasoning. The degree prepares graduates for entry-level work in biochemistry and industrial chemistry, and the subject applies across industry, education, science and government. Prospective students can apply through the college, take a skills and interests assessment, or talk with a counselor to decide whether Chemistry fits their goals. The department page also provides contact details for questions and requests for information, and lists related majors within the same career pathway for students who want to compare options.
