AA/AS in Chemistry

The chemistry associate of science prepares students to transfer and later work in industry, education, medicine, forensics or agriculture. It can be taken on the Bethlehem or Pocono campus. Laboratories feature instruments such as a UV-Vis spectrophotometer, a gas chromatograph and an infrared spectrophotometer, so learners practice with professional equipment. The program builds competence in general, organic and physical chemistry, and the college emphasizes yearly savings compared with starting at a four-year school. Faculty and advisors guide students toward the transfer path that suits their intended chemistry specialty. Classes are held on campus. Northampton Community College is a Pennsylvania two-year college with campuses in Bethlehem and the Poconos, and the program page invites prospective students to request information or apply online.
