Chemistry
Chemistry is the central science. It’s the application of physics, the why of biology, and the what of engineering. It is crucial to have a strong understanding of chemistry to pursue a degree in any of the major sciences. Chemistry will allow us to solve the worlds energy crisis, cure diseases, and improve the quality of living across the globe. If you are interested in tackling the world’s toughest problems and making huge advances that will transform the world, this is the subject for you.
Apply NowWhile we recommend that chemistry students earn the Associate of Science (AS), an AA in chemistry is also available. The Associate of Arts has the same requirements as the AS with the addition of a foreign language (complete a 1020-level language course). Please see your academic advisor for full details.
