AA/AS in Chemistry

The Associate of Science in Chemistry at Wharton County Junior College is designed for students who plan to continue toward a bachelor's degree. Students can finish in two years, and classes run at each of the college's campuses, each with chemistry laboratories. Lab work includes learning safe handling techniques for compounds. Careers after further study include secondary school teaching, clinical research coordination and food science. Students should confirm that courses meet the requirements of their transfer institution. The college serves the Upper Texas Gulf Coast from several campuses. Prospective students can consult the college catalog for course details, follow the academic map for a semester-by-semester plan, and speak with an advisor or the department before they submit an application, since requirements can vary.
