This program in chemistry provides a broad background in organic, inorganic, chemistry, and quantitative analysis. Chemistry students study living and non-living systems at a chemical level. Students evaluate scientific information, analyze data, interpret results, and solve complex problems using critical thinking skills.
The AS in Chemistry is designed to provide the foundation needed for subsequent transfer to a related Chemistry program at a 4-year university, and the core courses listed below fulfill MOST of the lower division requirements for transfer. Students should note that transfer-course requirements vary among universities, and between majors in the different branches of Chemistry. Students are encouraged to meet with a STEM Counselor and consult the ASSIST webpage (www.assist.org) for more information on transfer-course agreements between Chabot College and the CSU/UC Chemistry programs.
An associate’s degree in Chemistry can prepare you for transfer to bachelor’s programs in:
- Chemistry
- Environmental Chemistry
- Forensic Chemistry
- Biochemistry
- Materials Science
- Chemical Engineering
- Pharmaceutical Chemistry
Chemistry majors often engage in career fields requiring the pursuit and application of knowledge of the chemical world, including:
- Biotechnology
- Clinical or Laboratory Research
- Environmental Science
- Pharmacy, Medicine, or Optometry
- Medicinal Chemistry
- Energy, Fuels, & Polymer Research
