AA/AS in Chemistry

The Chemistry pre-major at St. Philip's College is offered by the Natural Sciences, Kinesiology, Engineering and Mathematics department. Chemistry is called the central science, supporting fields from medicine and physical science to food, drug, and cosmetic products. Courses give students a solid base in how matter behaves and what happens to it during reactions. The pre-major is meant to prepare students for later work in industry or academia. Instructors focus on student success and meet learners at their current academic level. A tutoring space called the Byrd Sanctuary is available. Some instructors supervise research projects during the regular terms and summer, and faculty arrange community activities that link coursework to practical applications. Students should confirm with an advisor how chemistry courses align with their intended university.
